Holy Scripture
Zechariah 5:1
A church father on this verse
“"They sank in the depth like a stone." Why "did they sink in the depth like a stone"? Because they were not the kind of "stones which sons of Abraham could be raised up" but the kind which love the depth and desire the liquid element, that is, who seize the bitter and fluid desire of present things. Whence it is said…”

3And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth: for every thief shall be punished with death on this side, and every false swearer shall be punished on that side.
