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.
21. When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stood still, the wheels stood still; and when the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
22. The shape of an expanse, with a gleam like awe-inspiring crystal, was spread out over the heads of the living creatures.
23. And under the expanse their wings extended one toward another. Each of them also had two wings covering their bodies.
24. When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of mighty waters, like the voice of the Almighty, and a sound of commotion like the noise of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
25. A voice came from above the expanse over their heads; when they stood still, they lowered their wings.
26. The shape of a throne with the appearance of sapphire stone was above the expanse. There was a form with the appearance of a human on the throne high above.
27. From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around. From what seemed to be His waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around Him.
28. The appearance of the brilliant light all around was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the form of the Lord’s glory. When I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.
