Zechariah 5:6-10

6And I said, “What is it?” Then he said, “This is the 12ephah going forth.” Again he said, “This is their 3appearance in all the 4land.

7And behold, a lead cover was lifted up.” He continued, “And this is a woman sitting inside the ephah.”

8Then he said, “This is 5Wickedness!” And he thrust her into the middle of the ephah and threw the lead weight on its 6opening.

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 7stork, 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?”
