⁵ Then God^[a] said to me, “O mortal, lift up your eyes now in the direction of the north.” So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the altar gate, in the entrance, was this image of jealousy.^(A)

³ It stretched out the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my head, and the spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the gateway of the inner court that faces north, to the seat of the image of jealousy that provokes to jealousy.^(A)

Seventh Vision: The Woman in a Basket

⁵ Then the angel who spoke with me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what this is that is coming out.” ⁶ I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is a basket^[a] coming out.” And he said, “This is their iniquity^[b] in the whole land.” ⁷ Then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket!^{[c] 8} And he said, “This is Wickedness.” So he thrust her back into the basket^[d] and pressed the leaden weight down on its mouth.^{(A) 9} Then I looked up and saw two women coming forward. The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket^[e] between earth and sky. ¹⁰ Then I said to the angel who spoke with me, “Where are they taking the basket?”^{[f] 11} He said to me, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it, and when this is prepared, they will set it down there on its base.”^(B)

³⁴ They set up their abominations in the house that bears my name and defiled it.^(A)
