Zechariah 5:5-11
New King James Version
Vision of the Woman in a Basket
5 Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”
6 So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a [a]basket that is going forth.”
He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: 7 Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; 8 then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead [b]cover over its mouth. 9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a (A)stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
10 So I said to the (B)angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?”
11 And he said to me, “To (C)build a house for it in (D)the land of [c]Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.”

Zechariah 5:5-11
21st Century King James Version
5 Then the angel who 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 weighty piece of lead, and this is a woman who 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 I lifted 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 who talked with me, “Whither do these bear the ephah?”
11 And he said unto me, “To build it a house in the land of Shinar; and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.”
