Zechariah 5:5-11

The Woman in a Basket 5Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”

6I asked, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity Or appearance of the people throughout the land.” 7Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman!

8He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.

9Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

10“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me. 11He replied, “To the country of Babylonia Hebrew Shinar to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”
