[1]So I turned me, lifting vp myne eyes, & loked, and beholde, a fleeing booke [1]Then I turned me, and lifted up mine eyes and looked, and behold, a flying book.
[2]And he saide vnto me: what seest thou? I aunswered: I see a fleeing booke of twentie cubites long, and ten cubites broade [2]And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying book: the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
[3]Then saide he vnto me, This is the curse that goeth foorth ouer the whole earth: for al theeues shalbe iudged after this booke, & al pariured persons shalbe iudged according to the same [3]Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the whole earth: for every one that stealeth, shall be cut off as well on this side, as on that: and every one that sweareth, shall be cut off as well on this side, as on that.
[4]And I wil bring it foorth saith the lord of hoastes, so that it shall enter into the house of the theefe, and into the house of him that falsely sweareth by my name: and shall remayne in his house, and consume it, with the timber & stones therof [4]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 falsely sweareth by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, with the timber thereof, and stones thereof.
[5]Then the angel that talked with me, went foorth, and saide vnto me: Lyft vp thyne eyes, and see what is this that goeth foorth [5]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.
[6]And I said, what is it? He aunswered: This is a measure going out. He saide moreouer: Eue thus are they that dwel vpon the whole earth to loke vpon [6]And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is the sight of them through all the earth.
[7]And behold, there was lyft vp a talent of lead: and lo, a woman sate in the middest of the measure [7]And behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
[8]And he said, This is vngodlinesse: So he cast her into the middest of the measure, and threwe the lumpe of lead into the mouth of the measure [8]And he said, This is wickedness, and he cast it into the midst of the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
[9]Then lyft I vp myne eyes, and loked, & beholde, there came out two women, and the winde was in their winges: for they had winges lyke the winges of a storke, and they lyft vp the measure betwixt the earth and the heauen [9]Then lift I up mine eyes, and looked: and behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings (for they had wings like the wings of a stork) and they lift up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
[10]Then spake I to the angel that talked with me: Whyther wyll these beare the measure [10]Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
[11]And he saide vnto me: Into the land of Sinnaar to builde it an house, & it shal be established, & set there vpon her owne place [11]And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar, and it shall be established and set there upon her own place.
