Ezekiel 1:15-21

15Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one 1wheel on the earth beside the living beings, 2for each of the four of them. 16The 3appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like 4sparkling 5beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if 6one wheel were within another. 17Whenever they 7moved, they 8moved in any of their four 9directions without 10turning as they 11moved. 18As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were 12full of eyes round about. 1913Whenever the living beings 14moved, the wheels 15moved with them. And whenever the living beings 16rose from the earth, the wheels rose also. 2017Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction18. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living 19beings was in the wheels. 2120Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living 21beings was in the wheels.
