1. The Vision of the Flying Scroll

2. 1ENGLEEAnd I again lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold there was a flying roll-book.BSBBSB: Again I lifted up my eyes and saw before me a flying scroll.
3. 2ENGLEEAnd he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll, its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits.BSBBSB: “What do you see?” asked the angel. “I see a flying scroll,” I replied, “twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”
4. 3ENGLEEThen said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of all the earth; for every one that stealeth as it is on this side shall be in an equal degree entirely destroyed, as also every one that sweareth falsely as it is on that side shall be likewise entirely destroyed.BSBBSB: 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.
5. 4ENGLEEI 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 its timber and its stones.BSBBSB: 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.”

6. The Vision of the Woman in a Basket

7. 5ENGLEEThen went forth the angel that spoke with me, and said unto me, Do but lift up thy eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.BSBBSB: Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Now lift up your eyes and see what is approaching.”
8. 6ENGLEEAnd I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance through all the earth.BSBBSB: “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.”
9. 7ENGLEEAnd, behold, there was lifted up a heavy cover of lead: and there was a certain woman sitting in the midst of the ephah.BSBBSB: And behold, the cover of lead was raised, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.
10. 8ENGLEEAnd he said, This is the wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weighty lead cover upon the mouth thereof.BSBBSB: “This is Wickedness,” he said. And he shoved her down into the basket, pushing down the lead cover over its opening.
11. 9ENGLEEThen did I lift up my eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, having 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 heaven.BSBBSB: 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.
12. 10ENGLEEThen said I to the angel that spoke with me, Whither are these bearing away the ephah?BSBBSB: “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.
13. 11ENGLEEAnd he said unto me, To build for it a house in the land of Shin'ar: and when this is erected, then will the other be set there upon its own base.BSBBSB: “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.”
