Chapter 5
Sixth vision: the flying scroll
1
Again I raised my eyes, and this is what I saw: a flying scroll.
2
The angel who was talking to me said, ‘What can you see?’ I replied, ‘I can see a flying scroll; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits broad’.
3
He then said to me, ‘This is the Curse sweeping across the face of the whole country. According to what it says, every thief will be banished; according to what it says, everyone who swears falsely by my name will be banished.
4
I am going to let it loose – it is Yahweh Sabaoth who speaks – to enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name, to settle in his house and to consume it, timber, stone and all.’
Seventh vision: the woman in the bushel
5
The angel who was talking to me came forward and said to me, ‘Raise your eyes, and see what this is, moving forward’.
6
I said, ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘This is a bushel moving forward’. He went on, ‘This is their iniquity throughout the country’.
7
At this, a disc of lead was raised, and I saw a Woman sitting inside the bushel.
8
He said, ‘This is Wickedness’. And he forced her back into the bushel and closed its mouth with the mass of lead.
9
I raised my eyes, and this is what I saw: two women appearing. The wind caught their wings – they had wings like a stork’s; they raised the bushel midway between earth and heaven.
10
I then said to the angel who was talking to me, ‘Where are they taking the bushel?’
11
He replied, ‘They mean to build a temple for it in the land of Shinar, and to make a plinth on which to place it’.[*a]
