New King James Version

Ezekiel 1:17-22 New King James Version (NKJV)

17. When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went.

18. As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them.

19. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20. Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

21. When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

22. The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads.
