Zechariah 5:4-11

4I will send it outH3318, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635, and it will enterH935H413 the houseH1004 of the thiefH1590H413 and the houseH1004 of him who swearsH7650 falselyH8267 by My nameH8034. It will remainH3885 insideH8432 his houseH1004 and destroy itH3615, down to its timbersH6086 and stonesH68.”

5Then the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me came forwardH3318 and toldH559 meH413, “NowH4994 lift upH5375 your eyesH5869 and seeH7200 whatH4100 is approachingH3318.”

6“WhatH4100 is itH1931?” I askedH559.

And he repliedH559, “A measuring basketH3741 is going forthH3318.” Then he continuedH559, “ThisH2063 is their iniquityH58692 in allH3605 the landH776.”

7And beholdH2009, the coverH3603 of leadH5777 was raisedH5375H2063, and there wasH259 a womanH802 sittingH3427 insideH8432 the basketH374.

8“ThisH2063 is WickednessH7564,” he saidH559. And he shoved her downH7993 intoH413H8432 the basketH374, pushing downH7993 the leadH5777 coverH68 overH413 its openingH6310.

9Then I liftedH5375 up my eyesH5869 and sawH7200H2009 twoH8147 womenH802 approachingH3318, with the windH7307 in their wingsH3671. Their wingsH3671 were like thoseH3671 of a storkH2624, and they lifted upH5375 the basketH374 betweenH996 heavenH8064 andH996 earthH776.

10“WhereH575 are theyH1992 takingH1980 the basketH374?” I askedH559H413 the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me.

11“To buildH1129 a houseH1004 for it in the landH776 of ShinarH8152,3” he toldH559 meH413. “And when it is readyH3559, the basket will be setH5117 thereH8033 onH5921 its pedestalH4369.”
