Zechariah 5:6-10

6And I saidH559, “WhatH4100 is it?” Then he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is the 12ephahH374 goingH3318 forthH3318.” Again he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is their 3appearanceH5869 in allH3605 the 4landH776.

7And beholdH2009, a leadH5777 coverH3603 was liftedH5375 upH5375.” He continued, “And thisH2088 is a womanH802 sittingH3427 insideH8432 the ephahH374.”

8Then he saidH559, “ThisH2088 is 5WickednessH7564!” And he thrustH7993 her into the middleH8432 of the ephahH374 and threwH7993 the leadH5777 weightH68 on its 6openingH6310.

9Then I raisedH5375 my eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and there twoH8147 womenH802 were comingH3318 outH3318 with the windH7307 in their wingsH3671; and they had wingsH3671 like the wingsH3671 of the 7storkH2624, and they liftedH5375 upH5375 the ephahH374 betweenH996 the earthH776 and the heavensH8064.

10So I saidH559 to the angelH4397 who was speakingH1696 with me, “WhereH575 are they takingH1980 the ephahH374?”
