Zechariah · Chapter 5

[ edit] And Y was conuertid, and reyſide myn eeȝen, and ſawȝ, and loo! a bok fleeȝinge. And he ſaide to me, What ſeeſt þou? And Y ſaide, Y ſee a bok fleeȝinge; þe lengþe þerof of twenti cubitis, þe breed þerof of ten cubitis. And he ſaide to me, Þis is þe curs, þat goþ out vpon þe face of al erþe; for eche þeef, as it is writen þere, ſhal be demyd; and eche man ſwerynge, of þis alſo ſhal be deemid. And Y ſhal leede it out, ſaiþ þe Lord of ooſtis, and it ſhal cum to hous of þe þeef, and to hous of þe ſwerynge falſly in my name; and it ſhal dwelle in mydil of his hous, and ſhal waaſte hym, and his trees, and his ſtoones.

And þe aungel wente out, þat ſpak in me, and ſaide to me, Reyſe þin eeȝen, and ſee, what þis þing is, þat goþ out. And Y ſaide, What is it? And he ſaiþ, Þis is an amfer, or a veſſel þat ſum men clepen a tankard, goynge out. And he ſaide, Þis is þe eeȝe of hem in eche lond. And lo! a talent of lede was born; and loo! a womman ſyttynge in mydil of þe amfer. And he ſaide, Þis is vnpitee. And he keſte hir doun in mydil of þe amfer, and ſente a gobet of leed in þe mouþ þerof. And Y reyſide myn eeȝen, and ſauȝ, and loo! two wymmen goynge out, and a ſpirit in þe wengus of hem; and þei hadden weengus as weengus of a kijte, and reyſiden þe amfer bitwix heuen and erþe.

And Y ſaide to þe aungel þat ſpac in me, Whiþer beren þeſe þe amfer? And he ſayde to me, Þat an hous be beeldid þerto in þe lond of Sennaar, and be ſtablid, and putte þere vpon his foundement.
