Ezekiel 1:12-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. And each one went straight forward, going wherever the spirit was to go, and they did not turn when they went.

13. And the likeness of the living creatures: their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of torches, moving back and forth among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning.

14. And the living creatures ran back and forth, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

15. And I looked at the living creatures, and saw a wheel on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces.

16. The appearance of the wheels and their works was like the appearance of beryl, and all four had the same form. The appearance of their works was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

17. When they went, they went in any one of four directions, they did not turn aside when they went.

18. And their rims were high and awesome, and their rims were covered with eyes, all around the four of them.

19. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20. Wherever the spirit was to go, they went, because there the spirit went. And the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

21. When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood. And when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

22. And a likeness was over the heads of the living creatures, an expanse like the appearance of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads.
