Zec 5:7 | MHM | STEP | v. 7-8 : Inside the ephah, Zechariah sees a woman sitting, and the angel says, “This is wickedness” (Zechariah 5:8 ). The woman stands for the sinful people or the sinful state of the nation. God’s people were meant to be holy, but now they are described as full of wickedness. Sin is most serious when it is found among those who should be faithful to God (Jeremiah 2:3 ).
