Chapter 5 |
| 1 | Then I turned,
and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. |
| 2 | And he
said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length
thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. |
| 3 | Then
said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole
earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according
to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according
to it. |
| 4 |
I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall
enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth
falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall
consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. |
| 5 | Then the
angel that 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 talent of lead: and this is a woman that 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 lifted I 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 that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
|
| 11 | And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it
shall be established, and set there upon her own base. |
