Read Zechariah 5.1-4 The sixth vision: The flying scroll and social justice.
The scroll's flight indicates that the power of its message covers the whole land.
In verses 3-4 the two crimes mentioned in the scroll's text are theft and deceit in
official transactions (swearing falsely), two of the ten commandments (Ex 20.7, 15).
Why these two are singled out is not stated, but they represent the elimination of corruption
from Judean society, the theme of the next vision as well.
