| King James Bible | English Standard Version |
| 1Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. | 1Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! |
| 2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof 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 said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. | 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. |
| 4I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. | 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 that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth 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.” |
| 6And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. | 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.” |
| 7And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. | 7And behold, the leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket! |
| 8And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. | 8And he said, “This is Wickedness.” And he thrust her back into the basket, and thrust down the leaden weight on its opening. |
| 9Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. | 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. |
| 10Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? | 10Then I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they taking the basket?” |
| 11And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base. | 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.” |
