Zechariah 5:5-11

Amplified Bible

⁵ Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and said to me, “Now look up and see what this is going forth.” ⁶ And I said, “What is it?” And he said, “This is the ^[a]ephah (grain basket) going forth. This,” he continued, “is their appearance throughout the land^{(A) 7} (and behold, a [round, flat] lead ^[b]cover was lifted up); and there sat a woman inside the ephah.” ⁸ Then he said, “This is Wickedness (Godlessness)!” And he threw her back down into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead cover on its opening. ⁹ Then I looked up, and there were two women coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. ¹⁰ I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” ¹¹ And he said to me, “To the land of Shinar (Babylon) to build a temple for her; and when it is prepared, ^[c]she shall be set there on her own pedestal.”
