Zechariah 5
King James Version
5 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
2 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.
3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord 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 remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
5 Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
8 And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
10 Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.

Sixth Vision: The Flying Scroll
5 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.” 3 Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land; for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it. 4 I will send it forth, says the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones.”
Seventh Vision: The Woman in a Basket
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift your eyes, and see what this is that goes forth.” 6 And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the ephah that goes forth.” And he said, “This is their iniquity[a] in all the land.” 7 And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah! 8 And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth. 9 Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings; they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven. 10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” 11 He said to me, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it; and when this is prepared, they will set the ephah down there on its base.”

Visiones del rollo y del efa
5 Alcé de nuevo mis ojos y miré, y he aquí un rollo que volaba(A). 2 Y me dijo el ángel: ¿Qué ves? Y respondí(B): Veo un rollo que vuela; su longitud es de veinte codos[a] y su anchura de diez codos. 3 Entonces me dijo: Esta es la maldición que sale sobre la faz de toda la tierra(C); ciertamente todo el que roba será destruido según lo escrito[b](D) en un lado, y todo el que jura será destruido según lo escrito[c] en el otro lado(E). 4 La haré salir —declara el Señor de los ejércitos(F)— y entrará en casa del ladrón(G) y en casa del que jura por mi nombre en falso(H); y pasará la noche dentro de su casa y la consumirá junto con sus maderas y sus piedras(I).
5 Salió el ángel que hablaba conmigo(J), y me dijo: Alza ahora tus ojos y mira qué es esto que sale. 6 Y dije: ¿Qué es? Y él dijo: Esto es el efa[d] que sale. Y añadió: Esta es la iniquidad[e] de ellos en toda la tierra(K). 7 Y he aquí, una tapa de plomo fue levantada, y había[f] una mujer sentada dentro del efa. 8 Entonces dijo: Esta es la Maldad(L). Y la arrojó al interior del efa y arrojó la tapa[g] de plomo sobre su abertura[h]. 9 Luego alcé los ojos y miré, y he aquí dos mujeres salían con el viento en sus alas; y tenían alas como alas de cigüeña, y alzaron el efa entre la tierra y el cielo(M). 10 Dije entonces al ángel que hablaba conmigo: ¿Adónde llevan el efa? 11 Y me respondió: A la tierra de Sinar(N) para edificarle un templo[i]; y cuando esté preparado, será asentado allí sobre su base.
