12. Each living being went in the direction it was looking. They went wherever the spirit caused them to go, but they did not turn when they moved.
13. That is what the living beings looked like. Inside the area between the living beings, there was something that looked like burning coals of fire. This fire was like small torches that kept moving around among the living beings. The fire glowed brightly and lightning flashed from it.
14. The living beings ran back and forth—as fast as lightning.
15-16. I was looking at the living beings when I noticed four wheels that touched the ground. There was one wheel by each living being. All the wheels looked the same. The wheels looked as if they were made from a clear, yellow jewel. They looked like there was a wheel inside a wheel.
17. They could turn to move in any direction. But the living beings did not turn when they moved.
18. The rims of the wheels were tall and frightening. There were eyes all over the rims of all four wheels.
19. The wheels always moved with the living beings. If the living beings went up into the air, the wheels went with them.
20. They went wherever the spirit wanted them to go, and the wheels went with them, because the power that moved the living being was in the wheels.
21. So if the living beings moved, the wheels moved. If the living beings stopped, the wheels stopped. If the wheels went into the air, the living beings went with them, because the spirit was in the wheels.
22. There was an amazing thing over the heads of the living beings. It was like a bowl turned upside down, and the bowl was clear like crystal.
23. Under this bowl, each living being had wings reaching out to the one next to it. Two wings spread out one way and two wings spread out the other way, covering its body.
24. Then I heard the wings. Every time the living beings moved, their wings made a very loud noise like a lot of water rushing by. They were loud like the Lord All-Powerful. They were as loud as an army or a crowd of people. When the living beings stopped moving, they put their wings down by their side.
25. The living beings stopped moving and lowered their wings. Then there was another loud sound that came from above the bowl over their heads.
