Zechariah’s Seventh Vision

5 And the angel who was speaking to me went out, and he said to me, “Please look up![fn] See what thisis going out.” 6 And I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “This is a basket[fn] going out. And he said, “Thisis their iniquity[fn] throughout all the earth. 7 And look, the lead cover was lifted and a woman was sitting inside the basket.[fn] 8 And he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her back down into the basket,[fn] and threw the lead cover on top of it.[fn] 9 And I looked up[fn] and saw, and look!—two women coming forward, andthe wind was in their wings, and they had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket[fn] between the earth and the sky.[fn] 10 And I asked the angel who was talking to me, “Where are they taking the basket?”[fn] 11 And he said to me, “To build for it a house[fn] in the land of Shinar,[fn] andwhen it is put in place, it will be placed there on its site.”
