13. In the middle of the living beings was something like burning coals of fire or like torches. It moved back and forth among the living beings. It was bright, and lightning was flashing out of the fire.
14. The living beings moved backward and forward as quickly as flashes of lightning.
15. Then I looked, and I saw one wheel on the ground beside each of the four beings.
16. The appearance of the wheels and their construction was like gleaming jasper, and all four wheels looked alike. Their structure was like a wheel within a wheel.
17. When they moved they would go in any of the four directions they faced without turning as they moved.
18. Their rims were high and awesome, and the rims of all four wheels were full of eyes all around.
19. When the living beings moved, the wheels beside them moved; when the living beings rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up too.
20. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise up beside them because the spirit of the living being was in the wheel.
21. When the living beings moved, the wheels moved, and when they stopped moving, the wheels stopped. When they rose up from the ground, the wheels rose up from the ground; the wheels rose up beside them because the spirit of the living being was in the wheel.
22. Over the heads of the living beings was something like a platform, glittering awesomely like ice, stretched out over their heads.
23. Under the platform their wings were stretched out, each toward the other. Each of the beings also had two wings covering its body.
24. When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings – it was like the sound of rushing waters, or the voice of the Almighty, or the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.
