| |
| | Zec 5:3 | Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land; for every one who steals shall be cut off henceforth according to it, and every one who swears falsely shall be cut off henceforth according to it.
| |
| | Zec 5:4 | I will send it forth, says the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it shall abide in his house and consume it, both timber and stones."

| |
| | Zec 5:6 | And I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is the ephah that goes forth." And he said, "This is their iniquity in all the land."
| |
| | Zec 5:7 | And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the ephah!
| |
| | Zec 5:8 | And he said, "This is Wickedness." And he thrust her back into the ephah, and thrust down the leaden weight upon its mouth.
| |
| | Zec 5:9 | 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.
| |
| | Zec 5:10 | Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?"
| |
| | Zec 5:11 | 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."
