[5] Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.” [6] I asked, “What is it?” He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.” [7] Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! [8] He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it. [9] Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth. [10] “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me. [11] He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”
