1 Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flyingscroll.
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?”
So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its lengthistwenty cubits and its width ten cubits.”
3 Then he said to me, “Thisisthecurse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ accordingtothis side ofthescroll;and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ accordingtothat side of it.”
4 “I will send outthecurse,” says theLordof hosts;
# “It shall enter the house of thethief
# And the house ofthe one who swears falsely by My name.
It shall remain in the midst of his house
# And consumeit, with its timber and stones.”

7 Hereisa lead disc lifted up, and thisisa woman sitting inside the basket”;

9 Then I raised my eyes and looked, and thereweretwo women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of astork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.
