New Century Version

Ezekiel 1:13-20 New Century Version (NCV)

13. The living creatures looked like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire went back and forth among the living creatures. It was bright, and lightning flashed from it.

14. The living creatures ran back and forth like bolts of lightning.

15. Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground by each of the living creatures with its four faces.

16. The wheels and the way they were made were like this: They looked like sparkling chrysolite. All four of them looked the same, like one wheel crossways inside another wheel.

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

18. The rims of the wheels were high and frightening and were full of eyes all around.

19. When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the ground, the wheels also were lifted up.

20. Wherever the spirit would go, the living creatures would go. And the wheels were lifted up beside them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
