10. Each creature had the face of a human in front, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of a bull on the left, and the face of an eagle at the back.
11. Two wings of each creature were spread out and touched the wings of the creatures on either side. The other two wings of each creature were folded against its body.
12. Wherever the four living creatures went, they moved together without turning their bodies, because each creature faced straight ahead.
13. The creatures were glowing like hot coals, and I saw something like a flaming torch moving back and forth among them. Lightning flashed from the torch every time its flame blazed up.
14. The creatures themselves moved as quickly as sparks jumping from a fire.
15. I then noticed that on the ground beside each of the four living creatures was a wheel,
16. shining like chrysolite. Each wheel was exactly the same and had a second wheel that cut through the middle of it,
17. so that they could move in any direction without turning.
18. The rims of the wheels were large and had eyes all the way around them.
19-21. The creatures controlled when and where the wheels moved—the wheels went wherever the four creatures went and stopped whenever they stopped. Even when the creatures flew in the air, the wheels were beside them.
22-23. Above the living creatures, I saw something that was sparkling like ice, and it reminded me of a dome. Each creature had two of its wings stretched out towards the creatures on either side, with the other two wings folded against its body.
24. Whenever the creatures flew, their wings roared like an ocean or a large army or even the voice of God All-Powerful. And whenever the creatures stopped, they folded their wings against their bodies.
25. When the creatures stopped flapping their wings, I heard a sound coming from above the dome.
