Vision of the Flying Scroll

1 Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying ascroll.  
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.”
3 Then he said to me, “This is the acurse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.” 
4 “I will send out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;
“It shall enter the house of the athief
And the house of bthe one who swears falsely by My name.
It shall remain in the midst of his house
And consume cit, with its timber and stones.”  

Vision of the Woman in a Basket

5 Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.”

Zechariah 5:3

Every one that stealeth - and every one that sweareth - It seems that the roll was written both on the front and back: stealing and swearing are supposed to be two general heads of crimes; the former, comprising sins against men; the latter, sins against God. It is supposed that the roll contained the sins and punishments of the Chaldeans.
