daily reading 24.3 (Zechariah 5:5–11)
5-days-a-week through Daniel and other late OT books in 2023
Our opening prayer for this Easter week:
1 When peace like a river flows on in my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll–
whatever my lot, you have taught me to say,
it is well, it is well with my soul.
Refrain: It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.
2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control,
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate
and has shed his own blood for my soul.
Refrain: It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.
3 My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
my sin, not in part, but the whole,
is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more:
praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
Refrain: It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.
4 And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend;
even so, it is well with my soul.
Refrain: It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.
Zechariah 5:5–11
- Then the angel who was speaking with me came forward and told me, "Look up and see what this is that is approaching."
- 6 So I asked, "What is it?" He responded, "It's a measuring basket that is approaching." And he continued, "This is their iniquity in all the land."
- 7 Then a lead cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting inside the basket. 8 "This is Wickedness," he said. He shoved her down into the basket and pushed the lead weight over its opening.
- 9 Then I looked up and saw two women approaching with the wind in their wings. Their wings were like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and sky. 10 So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, "Where are they taking the basket?"
- 11 "To build a shrine for it in the land of Shinar," he told me. "When that is ready, the basket will be placed there on its pedestal."
