The King James Version Bible

Ezekiel 1:5-15

  1. 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.

  2. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

  3. 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.

  4. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

  5. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

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

  9. 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.

  10. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

  11. Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
