Sixth Vision: The Basket of Wickedness

zechariah 5  the Sixth Vision: The Basket of Wickedness. 5 Then the angel who spoke with me came forward and said to me, “Raise your eyes and look. What is this that comes forth?” 6 I said, “What is it?” And he answered, “This is the basket[c] 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.[d] 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[e]—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.[f] When the temple is constructed, they will set it there on its base.”
