Ezekiel 1:12-28
12And 1eachH376 wentH1980 straightH413H5676H6440 forwardH6440; 2whereverH413H834H8033 the spiritH7307 was about to goH1980, they would goH1980, withoutH3808 turningH5437 as they wentH1980. 133In the midst of the livingH2421 beingsH2421 there was something that lookedH4758 like burningH1197 coalsH1513 of 4fireH784, 5likeH4758 torchesH3940 movingH1980 amongH996 the livingH2421 beingsH2421. The fireH784 was brightH5051, and lightningH1300 was 6flashingH3318 from the fireH784. 14And the livingH2421 beingsH2421 7ranH7519 backH7725 and forthH7725 likeH4758 boltsH965 ofH965 8lightningH965.
15Now as I lookedH7200 at the livingH2421 beingsH2421, beholdH2009, there was oneH259 9wheelH212 on the groundH776 besideH681 the livingH2421 beingsH2421, for 10each of the fourH702 of them. 16The 11appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 and their workmanshipH4639 was like 12sparklingH5869 13topazH8658, and all fourH702 of them had the sameH259 formH1823, their appearanceH4758 and workmanshipH4639 being as ifH3512 14one wheelH212 were withinH8432 anotherH212. 17Whenever they 15movedH1980, they 16movedH1980 in any of their fourH702 17directionsH7253 withoutH3808 18turningH5437 as they 19movedH1980. 18As for their rimsH1354, they were highH1363 and awesomeH3374, and the rimsH1354 of all fourH702 of them were 2021coveredH4392 with eyesH5869 allH5439 aroundH5439. 1922Whenever the livingH2421 beingsH2421 23movedH1980, the wheelsH212 24movedH1980 with them. And whenever the livingH2421 beingsH2421 25roseH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 roseH5375 also. 2026WhereverH5921H834H8033 the spiritH7307 was about to goH1980, they would goH1980 in that directionH803327. And the wheelsH212 roseH5375 justH5980 as they did; for the spiritH7307 of the livingH2421 28beingsH2421 was in the wheelsH212. 2129Whenever those wentH1980, they wentH1980; and whenever those stoppedH5975, they stoppedH5975. And whenever those roseH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 roseH5375 justH5980 as they did; for the spiritH7307 of the livingH2421 30beingsH2421 was in the wheelsH212.
22Now 31overH5921 the headsH7218 of the livingH2421 32beingsH2421 there was something likeH1823 an expanseH7549, like the awesomeH3372 gleamH5869 of crystalH7140, spreadH5186 outH5186 overH5921H4605 their headsH7218. 23UnderH8478 the expanseH7549 their wingsH3671 were stretched out straightH3477, oneH802 towardH413 the otherH269; eachH376 oneH376 also had 33twoH8147 wings coveringH3680 its bodyH1472 on the oneH2008 sideH2008 and on the otherH2008. 24And I also heardH8085 the soundH6963 of their wingsH3671, like the 34soundH6963 of abundantH7227 watersH4325 as they wentH1980, like the 35voiceH6963 of 36the AlmightyH7706, a soundH6963 of a crowdH1999 like the 37soundH6963 of an armyH4264 campH4264; whenever they stoppedH5975, they letH7503 downH7503 their wingsH3671. 25And a voiceH6963 cameH1961 from aboveH5921 the 38expanseH7549 that was overH5921 their headsH7218; whenever they stoodH5975 stillH5975, they letH7503 downH7503 their wingsH3671.
26Now 39aboveH4480H4605 the expanseH7549 that was overH5921 their headsH7218 there was somethingH1823 40resemblingH1823 a throneH3678, like 4142lapisH68H5601 lazuliH68H5601 in appearanceH4758; and on that whichH1823 resembledH1823 a throneH3678, highH4480H4605 up, was a figureH1823 with the appearanceH4758 of a 43manH120. 27Then I 44noticedH7200 from the appearanceH4758 of His waistH4975 and upwardH4605 something 45like gleamingH5869 46metalH2830 that lookedH4758 like fireH784 allH5439 aroundH5439 withinH1004 it, and from the appearanceH4758 of His waistH4975 and downwardH4295 I sawH7200 somethingH4758 like fireH784; and there was a radianceH5051 aroundH5439 Him. 28Like the appearanceH4758 of the 47rainbowH7198 48in the cloudsH6051 on a rainyH1653 dayH3117, soH3651 was the appearanceH4758 of the surroundingH5439 radianceH5051. SuchH1931 was the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the 49gloryH3519 of the LordH3068. And when I sawH7200 it, I 50fellH5307 on my faceH6440 and heardH8085 a voiceH6963 speakingH1696.
