Ezekiel 1:19-25 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. When the creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved. When the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.

20. Anywhere their spirits would lead them to go, they would go. And the wheels would rise along with them. That's because the spirits of the living creatures were in the wheels.

21. When the creatures moved, the wheels also moved. When the creatures stood still, they also stood still. When the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them. That's because the spirits of the living creatures were in the wheels.

22. Something that looked like a huge space was spread out above the heads of the living creatures. It gleamed like ice. It was terrifying.

23. The wings of the creatures were spread out under the space. They reached out toward one another. Each creature had two wings covering its body.

24. When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings. It was like the roar of rushing waters. It sounded like the thundering voice of the Mighty One. It was like the loud noise an army makes. When the creatures stood still, they lowered their wings.

25. Then a voice came from above the huge space over their heads. They stood with their wings lowered.
