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.
25. A voice came from above the dome over the heads of the living creatures. When the living creatures stopped, they lowered their wings.
26. Now above the dome there was something that looked like a throne. It looked like a sapphire gem. And on the throne was a shape like a human.
27. Then I noticed that from the waist up the shape looked like glowing metal with fire inside. From the waist down it looked like fire, and a bright light was all around.
28. The surrounding glow looked like the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day. It seemed to look like the glory of the Lord. So when I saw it, I bowed facedown on the ground and heard a voice speaking.
