| 1Then I looked up and saw a flying scroll! | 1Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! |
| 2And the angel asked me, "What do you see?" I answered him, "I'm looking at a flying scroll. It's 20 cubits long and ten cubits wide." | 2And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.” |
| 3He responded to me, "This is the curse that is going out over the surface of the whole earth, because, according to this side of the scroll, all thieves will be ejected, and according to the other side of the scroll, all liars will be ejected." | 3Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who swears falsely shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side. |
| 4"I am bringing this about," declares the LORD of the Heavenly Armies. "The curse will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who lies in my name. The curse will remain in his house until that house has been completely destroyed, right down to its timber and stones." | 4I will send it out, declares the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. And it shall remain in his house and consume it, both timber and stones.” |
| 5Then the angel who had been talking with me stepped forward and told me, "Please look up and see what's going out." | 5Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift your eyes and see what this is that is going out.” |
| 6So I asked, "What is it?" He replied, "This is a basket making its appearance." He also said, "This is what it appears to be in the entire land." | 6And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the basket that is going out.” And he said, “This is their iniquity in all the land.” |
| 7Look, a round lead cover was being lifted, and there was one woman seated inside the basket! | 7And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket! |
| 8And the angel said, "This is evil!" So he shoved her back into the basket and snapped the round, lead cover over the opening. | 8And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down the leaden weight on its opening. |
| 9Then I looked up to see two women coming forward with the wind filling their wings. (They had wings like those of a stork.) They took up the basket, holding it between the earth and sky. | 9Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. |
| 10So I asked the angel who was talking to me, "Where are they taking the basket?" | 10Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the basket?” |
| 11He answered me, "To the land of Shinar, so they can build a temple to the woman in the basket. Then when its preparations are complete, the basket will be set there in its place." | 11He said to me, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it. And when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base.” |
