21
Turn thou us unto thee, O L
ORD
, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22
But
thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
The Book of the Prophet
Ezekiel
CHAPTER 1
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.
2
In the fifth
day
of the month, which
was
the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,
3
The word
of the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
was there upon him.
4
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.
5
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.
6
And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
7
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.
8
And
they had
the hands of a man under their wings
on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
9
Their wings
were
joined one to
another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
10
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.
11
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.
12
And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was
to go, they went;
and
they turned not when they went.
13
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.
14
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
15
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures,
with his four faces.
16
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.
17
When they went, they went upon their four sides:
and
they turned not
when they went.
18
As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings
were
full of eyes round about them four.
19
And when the living creatures went, the wheels went
by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
