51 Then I lifted up my eyes again and looked , and behold , there was a flying scroll . 2 And he said to me, " What do you see ?" And I answered , "I see a flying scroll ; its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits ." 3 Then he said to me, "This is the curse that is going forth over the face of the whole land ; surely everyone who steals will be purged away according to the writing on one side , and everyone who swears will be purged away according to the writing on the other side . 4 "I will make it go forth ," declares the Lord of hosts , "and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name ; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and stones ."
5 Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth ." 6 I said , "What is it?" And he said , "This is the ephah going forth ." Again he said , "This is their appearance in all the land 7 (and behold , a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah ." 8 Then he said , "This is Wickedness !" And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its opening . 9 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked , and there two women were 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 Then he said to me, "To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar ; and when it is prepared , she will be set there on her own pedestal ."
