Ezekiel 1:23-28

Ezekiel 1:23-28

[23] And under the firmament  were their wings  straight,  the one  toward the other:  every one  had two,  which covered  on this side,  and every one  had two,  which covered  on that side,  their bodies.  [24] I heard  the noise  of their wings,  like the noise  of great  waters,  as the voice  of the Almighty,  the voice  of speech,  as the noise  of an host:  when they stood,  they let down  their wings.  [25] And there was a voice  from the firmament  that was over their heads,  when they stood,  and had let down  their wings.  [26] And above  the firmament  that was over their heads  was the likeness  of a throne,  as the appearance  of a sapphire  stone:  and upon the likeness  of the throne  was the likeness  as the appearance  of a man  above  [27] And I saw  as the colour  of amber,  as the appearance  of fire  round about  within  it, from the appearance  of his loins  even upward,  and from the appearance  of his loins  even downward,  I saw  as it were the appearance  of fire,  and it had brightness  round about.  [28] As the appearance  of the bow  that is in the cloud  in the day  of rain,  so was the appearance  of the brightness  round about.  This was the appearance  of the likeness  of the glory  of the LORD.  And when I saw  it, I fell  upon my face,  and I heard  a voice  of one that spake.
