Ezekiel 1:9-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.

10. But as for the likeness of their face, there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of each of the four, then the face of an ox on the left of each of the four, and the face of an eagle above each of the four.

11. Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered their bodies.

12. And each one of them advanced before his face. Wherever the impetus of the spirit was to go, there they went. And they did not turn as they advanced.

13. And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision dashing in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, with lightning going forth from the fire.

14. And the living creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.

15. And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
