Ezekiel 1:15-25

15Now as I lookedH7200 at the livingH2421 beingsH2421, beholdH2009, there was oneH259 1wheelH212 on the groundH776 besideH681 the livingH2421 beingsH2421, for 2each of the fourH702 of them. 16The 3appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 and their workmanshipH4639 was like 4sparklingH5869 5topazH8658, and all fourH702 of them had the sameH259 formH1823, their appearanceH4758 and workmanshipH4639 being as ifH3512 6one wheelH212 were withinH8432 anotherH212. 17Whenever they 7movedH1980, they 8movedH1980 in any of their fourH702 9directionsH7253 withoutH3808 10turningH5437 as they 11movedH1980. 18As for their rimsH1354, they were highH1363 and awesomeH3374, and the rimsH1354 of all fourH702 of them were 1213coveredH4392 with eyesH5869 allH5439 aroundH5439. 1914Whenever the livingH2421 beingsH2421 15movedH1980, the wheelsH212 16movedH1980 with them. And whenever the livingH2421 beingsH2421 17roseH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 roseH5375 also. 2018WhereverH5921H834H8033 the spiritH7307 was about to goH1980, they would goH1980 in that directionH803319. And the wheelsH212 roseH5375 justH5980 as they did; for the spiritH7307 of the livingH2421 20beingsH2421 was in the wheelsH212. 2121Whenever 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 22beingsH2421 was in the wheelsH212.

22Now 23overH5921 the headsH7218 of the livingH2421 24beingsH2421 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 25twoH8147 wings coveringH3680 its bodyH1472 on the oneH2008 sideH2008 and on the otherH2008. 24And I also heardH8085 the soundH6963 of their wingsH3671, like the 26soundH6963 of abundantH7227 watersH4325 as they wentH1980, like the 27voiceH6963 of 28the AlmightyH7706, a soundH6963 of a crowdH1999 like the 29soundH6963 of an armyH4264 campH4264; whenever they stoppedH5975, they letH7503 downH7503 their wingsH3671. 25And a voiceH6963 cameH1961 from aboveH5921 the 30expanseH7549 that was overH5921 their headsH7218; whenever they stoodH5975 stillH5975, they letH7503 downH7503 their wingsH3671.
