Zechariah 5:6-11 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

6. “I don't know what it is,” was my reply.“It's a big basket,” he said. “And it shows what everyone in the land has in mind.”

7. The lead cover of the basket was opened, and in the basket was a woman.

8. “This woman represents evil,” the angel explained. Then he threw her back into the basket and slammed the heavy cover down tight.

9. Straight after this I saw two women coming through the sky like storks with wings outstretched in the wind. Suddenly they lifted the basket into the air,

10. and I asked the angel, “Where are they taking the basket?”

11. “To Babylonia,” he answered, “where they will build a house for the basket and set it down inside.”
