Ezekiel 1:22-28

22Now 1over the heads of the living 2beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of 3crystal, spread out over their heads. 23Under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had 4two wings covering its body on the one side and on the other. 24I also heard the sound of their wings like the 5sound of abundant waters as they went, like the 6voice of 7the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the 8sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings. 25And there came a voice from above the 9expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.

26Now 10above the expanse that was over their heads there was something 11resembling a throne, like 1213lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a 14man. 27Then I 15noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something 16like 17glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28As the appearance of the 18rainbow 19in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the 20glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I 21fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.
