6. "What is it?" I asked. "A measuring basket," he replied. "The sins of the people all through the land are in it."
7. Then the basket's cover was lifted up. It was made out of lead. A woman was sitting in the basket!
8. The angel said, "She stands for everything that is evil." Then he pushed her down into the basket. He put the lead cover back over its opening.
9. I looked up and saw two other women. They had wings like the wings of a stork. A wind sent by the Lord carried them along. They lifted the basket up between heaven and earth.
10. "Where are they taking the basket?" I asked the angel.
