The Flying Scroll
5 Then I raised my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying (A)scroll. 2 And he said to me, “(B)What do you see?” And I said, “I see a flying scroll; its length is [a]twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.” 3 Then he said to me, “This is the (C)curse that is going forth over the face of the entire [b]land; everyone who (D)steals certainly will be purged away according to [c]the writing on one side, and everyone who (E)swears falsely will be purged away according to [d]the writing on the other side. 4 I will (F)make it go forth,” declares the Lord of armies, “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)destroy it with its timber and stones.”

A Flying Scroll
5 I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air.
2 “What do you see?” the angel asked.
“I see a flying scroll,” I replied. “It appears to be about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide.[a]”
3 Then he said to me, “This scroll contains the curse that is going out over the entire land. One side of the scroll says that those who steal will be banished from the land; the other side says that those who swear falsely will be banished from the land. 4 And this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: I am sending this curse into the house of every thief and into the house of everyone who swears falsely using my name. And my curse will remain in that house and completely destroy it—even its timbers and stones.”
