Zechariah 5:4-11

4I will 1make it goH3318 forthH3318,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “and it will 2enterH935 the houseH1004 of the 3thiefH1590 and the houseH1004 of the one who swearsH7650 falselyH8267 by My nameH8034; and it will spendH3885 the nightH3885 withinH8432 that houseH1004 and 4consumeH3615 it with its timberH6086 and stonesH68.”

5Then 5the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me wentH3318 out and saidH559 to me, “LiftH5375 up nowH4994 your eyesH5869 and seeH7200 whatH4100 thisH2088 is goingH3318 forthH3318.” 6I saidH559, “WhatH4100 is it?” And he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is the 67ephahH374 goingH3318 forthH3318.” Again he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is their 8appearanceH5869 in allH3605 the 9landH776 7(and beholdH2009, a leadH5777 coverH3603 was liftedH5375 up); and thisH2088 is a womanH802 sittingH3427 insideH8432 the ephahH374.” 8Then he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is 10WickednessH7564!” And he threwH7993 her downH7993 into the middleH8432 of the ephahH374 and castH7993 the leadH5777 weightH68 on its 11openingH6310. 9Then I liftedH5375 up my eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and there twoH8147 womenH802 were comingH3318 out with the windH7307 in their wingsH3671; and they had wingsH3671 like the wingsH3671 of a 12storkH2624, and they liftedH5375 up the ephahH374 betweenH996 the earthH776 and the heavensH8064. 10I saidH559 to the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me, “WhereH575 are they takingH1980 the ephahH374?” 11Then he saidH559 to me, “To buildH1129 a 13templeH1004 for her in the landH776 of 14ShinarH8152; and when it is preparedH3559, she will be setH5117 thereH8033 on her own pedestalH4350.”
