    4I looked, and there was a stormy wind coming from the north, a great cloud with flashing fire inside it and a bright light surrounding it. From within the fire there was something that gleamed like amber.

    5From its center came the likeness of four living creatures, and this was their appearance: they had a human-like form.

    6Each of them had four faces and four wings.

    7Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of a calf’s foot, gleaming like polished bronze.

    8Under their wings on their four sides were human hands. All four of them had faces and wings.

    9Their wings touched one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.

    10Their faces had this appearance: Each of the four had the face of a human, on the right side the face of a lion, on the left side the face of an ox, and each also had the face of an eagle.

    11Their faces and their wings were spread out above. Each had two wings touching those of another and two covering their bodies.

    12Each went straight ahead in the direction the spirit was guiding them. They did not turn as they moved.

    13The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the living creatures. It was radiant, and lightning flashed out of it.

    14The living creatures darted back and forth like flashes of lightning.

    15As I looked at the living creatures, I saw one wheel on the ground beside each of the four living creatures.

    16The appearance of the wheels and their construction was like the gleam of beryl, and all four looked alike. Their appearance and structure were as if a wheel were within a wheel.

    17They could move in any of the four directions without turning as they moved.

    18Their rims were tall and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

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

    20Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

    21When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when they stood still, the wheels stood still; and when they rose from the ground, the wheels rose with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

    22Over the heads of the living creatures there was something like an expanse, gleaming like awe-inspiring crystal, spread out above their heads.

    23Under the expanse, their wings were spread out straight, one toward another, and each creature had two wings covering its body on one side and two wings covering its body on the other side.
