Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 1 Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
    • B 2 And he said unto me, What seest thou?
  • A' 2 And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
  • A 3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth:
    • B 3 i. for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; ii. and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
      • C 4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts,
    • B' 4 i'. and it shall enter into the house of the thief, ii'. and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name:
  • A' 4 and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
