Ezekiel 1:13-18 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. And the appearance of the living creatures seemed like burning coals of fire. Something indeed like torches moved back and forth among the living creatures. The fire gleamed intensely, and from it lightning flashed.

14. The creatures darting back and forth flashed like lightning.

15. As I looked at the living creatures, I saw wheels on the ground, one alongside each of the four living creatures.

16. The wheels and their construction sparkled like yellow topaz, and all four of them looked the same: their construction seemed as though one wheel was inside the other.

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

18. The four of them had rims, high and fearsome—eyes filled the four rims all around.
