- I looked again--and there before me was a flying scroll!
- He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll, thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide. "
- And he said to me, "This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished.
- The LORD Almighty declares, 'I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and destroy it, both its timbers and its stones.' "
- Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, "Look up and see what this is that is appearing."

- Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
- And 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.
- Then 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.
- I 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.
- Then 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.
