Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.	And he said unto me, What seest thou?

Then said he unto me, This [is] the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off [as] on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off [as] on that side according to it.
