Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll. And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole land: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off [a]on the one side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off [b]on the other side according to it. I will cause it to go forth, saith Jehovah of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name; and it shall abide in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

The Flying Scroll

Then I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying (A)scroll. And he said to me, “(B)What do you see?” And I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty [a]cubits and its width ten cubits.” Then he said to me, “This is the (C)curse that is going forth over the face of the whole [b]land; surely everyone who (D)steals will be purged away according to [c]the writing on one side, and everyone who (E)swears will be purged away according to [d]the writing on the other side. I will (F)make it go forth,” declares the Lord of hosts, “and it will (G)enter the house of the (H)thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and (I)consume it with its timber and stones.”
