WEB · Bible Passage
Bible Text
[12] I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands. [13] And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest. [14] His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. [15] His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
