Ezekiel 1:5-13 World English Bible (WEB)

5. Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

6. Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.

7. Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass.

8. They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and the four of them had their faces and their wings thus:

9. their wings were joined to one another; they didn’t turn when they went; each one went straight forward.

10. As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side; and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side; the four of them also had the face of an eagle.

11. Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.

12. Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went; they didn’t turn when they went.

13. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: the fire went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.
