5. Then the angel who was talking with me came forward. He said to me, “Look up and see what is coming.”
6. I asked, “What is it?”He answered, “It is a measuring basket.” He also said, “It stands for the people’s sins in all the land.”
7. Then the lid made of lead was raised. There was a woman sitting in the basket.
8. The angel said, “The woman stands for wickedness.” Then he pushed her back into the basket. And he put the lid back down.
9. Then I looked up. I saw two women. They had wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork. They lifted up the basket into the sky.
10. I spoke to the angel who was talking with me. I asked, “Where are they taking the basket?”
11. He answered, “They are going to Babylonia. They will build a temple for it. When the temple is ready, they will set the basket there in its place.”
