1. I looked at the dome over the heads of the living creatures and above them was something that seemed to be a throne made of sapphire.
2. God said to the man wearing linen clothes, “Go between the wheels under the creatures and fill your hands with burning coals. Then scatter the coals over the city.”I watched him go.
3. The creatures were standing to the south of the Temple when he went in, and a cloud filled the inner courtyard.
4. The dazzling light of the Lord's presence rose up from the creatures and moved to the entrance of the Temple. Then the cloud filled the Temple, and the courtyard was blazing with the light.
5. The noise made by the creatures' wings was heard even in the outer courtyard. It sounded like the voice of Almighty God.
6. When the Lord commanded the man wearing linen clothes to take some fire from between the wheels that were under the creatures, the man went in and stood by one of the wheels.
7. One of the creatures put his hand into the fire that was there among them, picked up some coals, and put them in the hands of the man in linen. The man took the coals and left.
8. I saw that each creature had what looked like a human hand under each of its wings.
