Zechariah 5

2And he said to me, What dost thou see? And I said, I see a flying sickle twenty cubits long and ten cubits broad.

3Whereupon he said to me, This is the curse which is going forth over the face of the whole earth. Since every thief on the one hand is to be punished with death, and every false swearer on the other hand is to be punished;

4therefore I will bring it forth, saith the Lord Almighty. And it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who sweareth by My name to a falsehood; and it shall lodge in his house, and destroy it together with the timber and the stones thereof.

6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the measure which is going forth. Then he said, This is the iniquity of them in all this land.

7Then lo! a talent of lead was brought out; and behold! a woman was seated in the midst of the measure.

8And he said, This is the iniquity. Then he threw her down into the measure and he threw the mass of lead on her mouth.

9And I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo! two women came out, and there was a wind by their wings. Now they had the wings of a stork. And when they had lifted up the measure between heaven and earth,

10I said to the angel who was talking with me, Whither are they carrying the measure?

11And he said to me, To build a house for it in the land of Babylon and make preparation that they may place it there on its base.
