Ezekiel 1:4-14

Bible Text

[4] I looked, and, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst of it as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire. [5] Out of the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. [6] Everyone had four faces, and everyone of them had four wings. [7] Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass. [8] They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings [thus]: [9] their wings were joined one to another; they didn't turn when they went; they went everyone straight forward. [10] As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also the face of an eagle. [11] Their faces and their wings were separate above; two [wings] of everyone were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. [12] They went everyone straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn't turn when they went. [13] As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: [the fire] went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. [14] The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
