Zechariah 5:5-11
World English Bible
5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, “Lift up now your eyes, and see what this is that is appearing.”
6 I said, “What is it?”
He said, “This is the ephah[a] basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land 7 (and behold, a talent[b] of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah[c] basket.” 8 He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.
9 Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky. 10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are these carrying the ephah basket?”
11 He said to me, “To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place.”

The Vision of the Woman in the Basket
5 Then the angel who was speaking with me came out, saying, “Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that is going forth.”
6 And I asked, “What is it?”
He said, “This is the ephah basket going forth. This represents their iniquity throughout all the land.”
7 The lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah basket. 8 And he said, “This is wickedness.” And he threw her back into the basket and then thrust back the lead stone over its opening.
9 Then I lifted my eyes and saw coming forward two women. There was wind in their wings, and the wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up and carried the ephah basket between heaven and earth.
10 Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”
11 He responded, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar. And when the house is established, the basket will be set there on a pedestal.”
