Sixth Vision: Flying Scroll
1I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.5:1 Ezk 2:9–10; Rv 5:1; 10:2
2“What do you see?” he asked me.
“I see a flying scroll,” I replied, “thirty feet5:2 Lit 20 cubits long and fifteen feet5:2 Lit 10 cubits wide.”5:2 Ex 26:15–25; 1Kg 6:3; 1Pt 4:17
3Then he said to me, “This is the curse5:3 Dt 11:26–28; 28:15–68 that is going out over the whole land, for everyone who is a thief, contrary to what is written on one side, has gone unpunished,5:3 Or side, will be removed and everyone who swears falsely, contrary to what is written on the other side, has gone unpunished.
Seventh Vision: Woman in the Basket
5Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, “Look up and see what this is that is approaching.”
6So I asked, “What is it?”
He responded, “It’s a measuring basket5:6 Lit It’s an ephah that is approaching.” And he continued, “This is their iniquity5:6 One Hb ms, LXX, Syr; other Hb mss read eye in all the land.”
7Then a lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman5:7 Hs 9:15; Rv 17:1 sitting inside the basket.5:7 Lv 19:36; Dt 25:14; Pr 20:10; Ezk 45:10; Am 8:5
8“This is Wickedness,” he said. He shoved her down into the basket and pushed the lead weight over its opening.
10So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the basket?”
