And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying (A)scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”[a] Then he said to me, “This is (B)the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who (C)steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who (D)swears falsely[b] shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side. I will send it out, declares the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of (E)him who swears falsely by my name. And (F)it shall remain in his house and (G)consume it, both timber and stones.”
