Zechariah 5:7-11 ▼

7 A lead cover [on the basket] was raised, and a woman was sitting in the basket.

8 The angel said, |This is wickedness,| and he pushed her back into the basket and forced the lead cover down on top of it.

9 I looked up and saw two women coming forward with wind in their wings. They had wings like those of a stork. They carried the basket into the sky.

10 I asked the angel who was speaking with me, |Where are they taking the basket?|

11 He answered me, |They are going to build a house for it in Shinar [Babylonia]. When the house is ready, they will set the basket there on a stand.|
