Zechariah 5:1-4

Expanded Bible

The Vision of the Flying Scroll

5 I ·looked up again [^Lturned and lifted my eyes] and saw a flying scroll.

² ·The angel [^LHe] asked me, “What do you see?”

I answered, “I see a flying scroll, ·thirty feet [^Ltwenty cubits] long and ·fifteen feet [^Lten cubits] wide.”

³ And he said to me, “This is the curse that ·will go [or is going out] all over the land. One side says every thief will be ·taken away [banished; purged]. The other side says everyone who ·makes false promises [swears falsely] will be ·taken away [banished; purged]. ⁴ The Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] says, ‘I will send it to the houses of thieves and to those who ·use my name to make false promises [swear falsely]. The scroll will stay in that person’s house and destroy it with its wood and stones.’”
