Ezekiel 1:14-20 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. The creatures were darting back and forth like flashes of lightning.

15. When I looked at the living creatures, there was one wheel on the ground beside each creature that had four faces.

16. The appearance of the wheels and their craftsmanship was like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same form. Their appearance and craftsmanship was like a wheel within a wheel.

17. When they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.

18. Their rims were large and frightening. Each of their four rims were full of eyes all around.

19. So when the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels also rose.

20. Wherever the Spirit wanted to go, the creatures went in the direction the Spirit was moving. The wheels rose alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
