Revelation 4:6-9

7 6The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

8And the 7four living creatures, each one of them having 8six wings, are 9full of eyes around and within; and 10day and night 11they do not cease to say, “12Holy, holy, holy is the 13Lord God, the Almighty, 14who was and who is and who 15is to come.”
