Zechariah’s Seventh Vision

⁵ And the angel who was speaking to me went out, and he said to me, “Please look up!^[a] See what this is going out.” ⁶ And I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “This is a basket^[b] going out. And he said, “This is their iniquity^[c] throughout all the earth. ⁷ And look, the lead cover was lifted and a woman was sitting inside the basket.^{[d] 8} And he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her back down into the basket,^[e] and threw the lead cover on top of it.^{[f] 9} And I looked up^[g] and saw, and look!—two women coming forward, and the wind was in their wings, and they had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket^[h] between the earth and the sky.^{[i] 10} And I asked the angel who was talking to me, “Where are they taking the basket?”^{[j] 11} And he said to me, “To build for it a house^[k] in the land of Shinar,^[l] and when it is put in place, it will be placed there on its site.”
