Verse KJV King James Version BSB Berean Standard Bible
Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes , and looked, and behold a flying roll .
Again I lifted up my eyes and saw before me a flying scroll .
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.
“ What do you see ? ” asked the angel. “ I see a flying scroll,” I replied, “ twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide . ”
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 .
Then he told me, “ This is the curse that is going out over the face of all the land, for according to one side of the scroll, every thief will be removed; and according to the other side, every perjurer will be removed .
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 .
I will send it out , declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name . It will remain inside his house and destroy it , down to its timbers and stones. ”
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 .
Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Now lift up your eyes and see what is approaching . ”
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 .
“ What is it? ” I asked. And he replied , “A measuring basket is going forth. ” Then he continued , “ This is their iniquity in all the land . ”
And , behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead : and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah .
And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket .
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 .
“ This is Wickedness ,” he said . And he shoved her down into the basket, pushing down the lead cover over its opening .
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.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw two women approaching , with the wind in their wings . Their wings were like those of a stork , and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth .
Then said I to the angel that talked with me , Whither do these bear the ephah?
“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me .
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 .
“ To build a house for it in the land of Shinar ,” he told me. “ And when it is ready , the basket will be set there on its pedestal . ”
