Zechariah 5:5-11

Revised Standard Version

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.”
