Ezekiel 1:10-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

10. Here's what their faces looked like. Each of the four creatures had a man's face. On the right side each had the face of a lion. On the left each had the face of an ox. Each one also had an eagle's face.

11. That's what their faces looked like. Two of their wings were spread out and lifted up. Each one touched the wing of another creature on either side. The other two wings covered their bodies.

12. All of the creatures went straight ahead. Anywhere their spirits would lead them to go, they would go. They didn't change their direction as they went.

13. The living creatures looked like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures. It was bright. Lightning flashed out of it.

14. The creatures raced back and forth like flashes of lightning.

15. As I looked at the living creatures, I saw wheels on the ground beside them. Each creature had four faces.
