Ezekiel 1:16-20

16The 1appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like 2sparkling 3topaz, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if 4one wheel were within another.

17Whenever they 5moved, they 6moved in any of their four 7directions without 8turning as they 9moved.

18As for their rims, they were high and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were 10 11covered with eyes all around.

19 12Whenever the living beings 13moved, the wheels 14moved with them. And whenever the living beings 15rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.

20 16Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction17. And the wheels rose just as they did; for the spirit of the living 18beings was in the wheels.
