Ezekiel 10:11-18 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

11. When the wheels moved, they went in any of the directions that the four living creatures faced. The wheels did not turn about. The living creatures did not turn their bodies as they went. But they followed wherever their faces pointed.

12. All their bodies, their backs, hands, wings and the wheels were full of eyes all over. Now each of the four living creatures had a wheel.

13. I heard the wheels being called “whirling wheels.”

14. Each living creature had four faces. The first face was the face of a creature with wings. The second face was the face of a man. The third was the face of a lion. And the fourth was the face of an eagle.

15. The living creatures flew up. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River.

16. And when the living creatures moved, the wheels moved by their sides. The living creatures lifted their wings to fly up from the ground. And the wheels did not leave their sides.

17. When the living creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. When the creatures went up, the wheels went up also. This was because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

18. Then the glory of the Lord left the door of the Temple and stood over the living creatures.
