Ezekiel 1:15-24 New Century Version (NCV)

15. Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground by each of the living creatures with its four faces.

16. The wheels and the way they were made were like this: They looked like sparkling chrysolite. All four of them looked the same, like one wheel crossways inside another wheel.

17. When they moved, they went in any one of the four directions, without turning as they went.

18. The rims of the wheels were high and frightening and were full of eyes all around.

19. When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the ground, the wheels also were lifted up.

20. Wherever the spirit would go, the living creatures would go. And the wheels were lifted up beside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

21. When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved. When the living creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. And when the living creatures were lifted from the ground, the wheels were lifted beside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

22. Now, over the heads of the living creatures was something like a dome that sparkled like ice and was frightening.

23. And under the dome the wings of the living creatures were stretched out straight toward one another. Each living creature also had two wings covering its body.

24. I heard the sound of their wings, like the roaring sound of the sea, as they moved. It was like the voice of God Almighty, a roaring sound like a noisy army. When the living creatures stopped, they lowered their wings.
