Ezek. 1:4‑14• 4And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
 5Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
 6And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
 7And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
 8And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
 9Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
 10As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
 11Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
 12And they went every one straightforward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
 13As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
 14And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning. (Ezek. 1:4‑14)
