Zechariah 5:6-11

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶ So I asked, ‘What is it? ’

He responded, ‘It’s a measuring basket^[a] that is approaching.’ And he continued, ‘This is their iniquity^[b] in all the land.’ ⁷ Then a lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman^(A) sitting inside the basket.^{(B) 8} ‘This is Wickedness,’ he said. He shoved her down into the basket and pushed the lead weight over its opening. ⁹ Then I looked up and saw two women approaching with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork,^(C) and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky.

¹⁰ So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, ‘Where are they taking the basket? ’

¹¹ ‘To build a shrine for it in the land of Shinar,’^(D) he told me. ‘When that is ready, the basket will be placed there on its pedestal.’
