KJ3 Literal Translation
Zechariah 5
By the flying scroll is shown the curse of thieves and those who swear.
1And turning back I lifted up my eyes and saw, and, behold, a flying scroll!
2And he said to me, What do you see? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.
3And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For from now on all who steal shall be cleared away according to it; and all who swear from now on shall be cleared away according to it.
4And I will bring it forth, says Jehovah of Hosts. And it shall go into the house of the thief, and into the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. And it shall remain within his house and shall finish it, and its timber, and its stones.
5And the angel who was speaking with me went out, and said to me, Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that goes forth.
6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. And he said, This is their form in all the earth.
7And, behold, a lead cover was lifted up, and this is a woman sitting in the middle of the ephah.
8And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast her into the midst of the ephah; and he threw the lead weight over its opening.
9And I lifted up my eyes and saw. And, behold, two women came out. And the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of the stork. And they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens.
10And I said to the angel who was speaking with me, Where are they going with the ephah?
11And he said to me, To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; and it shall be made ready and placed there on its own place.
