Zechariah 5:8 in context
Zechariah 5:5–11

I said, “What is it?”
He said, “This is the ephah basket that is appearing.” He said moreover, “This is their appearance in all the land—

He said, “This is Wickedness;” and he threw her down into the middle of the ephah basket; and he threw the lead weight on its mouth.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw, and behold, there were two women; and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.
