Zechariah 5:7-11 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

7. Then a lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket.

8. “This is Wickedness,” he said. He shoved her down into the basket and pushed the lead weight over its opening.

9. Then I looked up and saw two women approaching with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky.

10. So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “Where are they taking the basket? ”

11. “To build a shrine for it in the land of Shinar,” he told me. “When that is ready, the basket will be placed there on its pedestal.”
