| New American Standard Bible 1995 | English Standard Version |
| 1Then I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll. | 1Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! |
| 2And he said to me, "What do you see?" And I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits." | 2And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.” |
| 3Then he said to me, "This is the curse that is going forth over the face of the whole land; surely everyone who steals will be purged away according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears will be purged away according to the writing on the other side. | 3Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole land. For everyone who steals shall be cleaned out according to what is on one side, and everyone who swears falsely shall be cleaned out according to what is on the other side. |
| 4"I will make it go forth," declares the LORD of hosts, "and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by My name; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and stones." | 4I will send it out, declares the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter the house of the thief, and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. And it shall remain in his house and consume it, both timber and stones.” |
| 5Then the angel who was speaking with me went out and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes and see what this is going forth." | 5Then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “Lift your eyes and see what this is that is going out.” |
| 6I said, "What is it?" And he said, "This is the ephah going forth." Again he said, "This is their appearance in all the land | 6And I said, “What is it?” He said, “This is the basket that is going out.” And he said, “This is their iniquity in all the land.” |
| 7(and behold, a lead cover was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting inside the ephah." | 7And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket! |
| 8Then he said, "This is Wickedness!" And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah and cast the lead weight on its opening. | 8And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down the leaden weight on its opening. |
| 9Then I lifted up 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 a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heavens. | 9Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. |
| 10I said to the angel who was speaking with me, "Where are they taking the ephah?" | 10Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the basket?” |
| 11Then he said to me, "To build a temple for her in the land of Shinar; and when it is prepared, she will be set there on her own pedestal." | 11He said to me, “To the land of Shinar, to build a house for it. And when this is prepared, they will set the basket down there on its base.” |
