Zechariah 5:5-8

Contemporary English Version

Seventh Vision: A Woman in a Basket

⁵ Now the angel who was there to explain the visions came over and said, “Look up and tell me what you see coming.”

⁶ “I don't know what it is,” was my reply.

“It's a big basket,” he said. “And it shows what everyone in the land has in mind.”^[a]

⁷ The lead cover of the basket was opened, and in the basket was a woman. ⁸ “This woman represents evil,” the angel explained. Then he threw her back into the basket and slammed the heavy cover down tight.
