In this chapter, Zechariah had another vision in which he saw a flying scroll. The scroll contained instructions for people who steal, are perjurers or have lying tongues. These things are detestable to the Lord because stealing takes from our neighbor, and lying or swearing by His name is a form of falsifying His name. God is light, and in Him, there is no variation or shifting shadow as it says in James 1:17b. Jesus also declared, "I am the Light of the world" in John 8:12a.

Furthermore, in this chapter, Zechariah saw an ephah with a woman and a weight that represented wickedness, according to the Bible's commentaries. At that time, the people of Israel who had returned from Babylon had a materialistic mindset, indicating their lack of trust in God, the Creator of everything.

Let us reiterate the profound lesson from this chapter: the act of lying or swearing by God's name is never acceptable, and it is an act that He despises. Our God is the embodiment of truth, and it is our duty to uphold and reflect His truth in all our actions and words.
