Ezekiel 10:9–17

⁹I saw the four wheels by the living creatures, one wheel by each living creature. The wheels looked like shining chrysolite. ¹⁰All four wheels looked alike: Each looked like a wheel crossways inside another wheel. ¹¹When the wheels moved, they went in any of the directions that the four living creatures faced. The wheels did not turn about, and the living creatures did not turn their bodies as they went. ¹²All their bodies, their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all over. Each of the four living creatures had a wheel. ¹³I heard the wheels being called “whirling wheels.” ¹⁴Each living creature had four faces. The first face was the face of a creature with wings. The second face was a human face, the third was the face of a lion, and the fourth was the face of an eagle.

¹⁵Then the living creatures flew up. They were the same living creatures I had seen by the Kebar River. ¹⁶When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them. When the living creatures lifted their wings to fly up from the ground, the wheels did not leave their place beside them. ¹⁷When the living creatures stopped, the wheels stopped. When the creatures went up, the wheels went up also, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
