26:001:002 In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of
           king Jehoiachin’s captivity,

26:001:003 The word of the lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest,
           the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river
           Chebar; and the hand of the lord was there upon him.

26:001:004 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north,
           a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness
           was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of
           amber, out of the midst of the fire.

26:001:005 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living
           creatures.  And this was their appearance; they had the
           likeness of a man.

26:001:006 And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

26:001:007 And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet
           was like the sole of a calf’s foot:  and they sparkled like the
           colour of burnished brass.

26:001:008 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their
           four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

26:001:009 Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when
           they went; they went every one straight forward.

26:001:010 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of
           a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side:  and they
           four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also
           had the face of an eagle.

26:001:011 Thus were their faces:  and their wings were stretched upward;
           two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two
           covered their bodies.

26:001:012 And they went every one straight forward:  whither the spirit
           was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.

26:001:013 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance
           was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of
           lamps:  it went up and down among the living creatures; and the
           fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

26:001:014 And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of
           a flash of lightning.

26:001:015 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon
           the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.

26:001:016 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the
           colour of a beryl:  and they four had one likeness:  and their
           appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle
           of a wheel.

26:001:017 When they went, they went upon their four sides:  and they
           turned not when they went.
