Zechariah 5:2-4
The Message
2 The Messenger-Angel said to me, “What do you see now?”
I said, “I see a book flying, a huge book—thirty feet long and fifteen wide!”
3-4 He told me, “This book is the verdict going out worldwide against thieves and liars. The first half of the book disposes of everyone who steals; the second half takes care of everyone who lies. I launched it”—Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies—“and so it will fly into the house of every thief and every liar. It will land in each house and tear it down, timbers and stones.”

Zechariah 5:2-4
New International Version
2 He asked me, “What do you see?”(A)
I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.[a]”
3 And he said to me, “This is the curse(B) that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief(C) will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely(D) will be banished. 4 The Lord Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely(E) by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.(F)’”
