Zechariah 5:6-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. I said, “What is it?” And he answered, “This is the basket that is coming.” And he said, “This is their guilt in all the land.”

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

8. He said, “This is Wickedness,” and he thrust her inside the basket, pushing the leaden weight into the opening.

9. Then I raised my eyes and saw two women coming forth with wind under their wings—they had wings like the wings of a stork—and they lifted the basket into the air.

10. I said to the angel who spoke with me, “Where are they taking the basket?”

11. He replied, “To build a temple for it in the land of Shinar. When the temple is constructed, they will set it there on its base.”
