rsv Ezekiel:1:4-14
rsv@Ezekiel:1:4 @ As I looked, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, and a great cloud, with brightness round about it, and fire flashing forth continually, and in the midst of the fire, as it were gleaming bronze.
rsv@Ezekiel:1:5 @ And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the form of men,
rsv@Ezekiel:1:6 @ but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings.
rsv@Ezekiel:1:7 @ Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.
rsv@Ezekiel:1:8 @ Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus:
rsv@Ezekiel:1:9 @ their wings touched one another; they went every one straight forward, without turning as they went.
rsv@Ezekiel:1:10 @ As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man in front; the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle at the back.
rsv@Ezekiel:1:11 @ Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above; each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies.
rsv@Ezekiel:1:12 @ And each went straight forward; wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went.
rsv@Ezekiel:1:13 @ In the midst of the living creatures there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches moving to and fro among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
rsv@Ezekiel:1:14 @ And the living creatures darted to and fro, like a flash of lightning.
