Zechariah 5:4-11
4I will 1make it go forth,” declares the Lord of armies, “and it will 2enter the house of the 3thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and 4destroy it with its timber and stones.”
5Then 5the angel who had been speaking with me went out and said to me, “Now raise your eyes and see what this is that is going forth.” 6And I said, “What is it?” Then he said, “This is the 67ephah going forth.” Again he said, “This is their 8appearance in all the 9land. 7And behold, a lead cover was lifted up.” He continued, “And this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.” 8Then he said, “This is 10Wickedness!” And he thrust her into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead weight on its 11opening. 9Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there two women were coming out with the wind in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of the 12stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. 10So I said to the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the ephah?” 11Then he said to me, “To build a 13temple for her in the land of 14Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal.”
