Zechariah 5:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an [a]Ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is the [b]sight of them through all the earth.
7 And behold, there was lifted up a [c]talent of lead: and this is a [d]woman that sitteth in the midst of the Ephah.
8 And he said, This is [e]wickedness, and he cast it into the midst of the Ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
