26:001:001 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
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.

26:001:012 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
