The vision of the coals of fire, to be scattered over the city.

1 ¶ Then I looked,ºª and, behold,² in² the firmamentº that² was above² the headº of the cherubimsº there appearedºª over² them as it were a sapphireº stone,º as the appearanceº of the likenessº of a throne.º 2 And he spakeºª unto² the manº clothedºª with linen,º and said,ºª Go inºª² betweenº the wheels,º [even] under² the cherub,º and fillºª thine handº with coalsº of fireº from betweenº² the cherubims,º and scatterºª [them] over² the city.º And he went² in¹ª in my sight.º 3 Now the cherubimsº stoodºª on the right sideº² of the house,º when the manº went in;ºª and the cloudº filledºª the innerº² court.º 4 Then the gloryº of the LORDº went upºª from²² the cherub,º [and stood] over² the thresholdº of the house;º and the houseº was filledºª with² the cloud,º and the courtº was fullºª of² the brightnessº of the LORD'Sº glory.º 5 And the soundº of the cherubims'º wingsº was heardºª [even] to² the outerº court,º as the voiceº of the Almightyº Godº when he speaketh.ºª 6 And it came to pass,² [that] when he had commandedºª² the manº clothedºª with linen,º saying,ºª Takeºª fireº from between²² the wheels,º from between²² the cherubims;º then he went in,ºª and stoodºª besideº the wheels.º 7 And [one] cherubº stretched forthºª² his handº from between²² the cherubimsº unto² the fireº that² [was] between² the cherubims,º and tookºª [thereof], and putºª [it] into² the handsº of [him that was] clothedºª with linen:º who tookºª [it], and went out.ºª

The vision of the cherubims.

8 ¶ And there appearedºª in the cherubimsº the formº of a man'sº handº under² their wings.º 9 And when I looked,ºª behold² the fourº wheelsº byº the cherubims,º oneº wheelº byº oneº cherub,º and anotherº wheelº byº anotherº cherub:º and the appearanceº of the wheelsº [was] as the colourº of a berylº stone.º 10 And [as for] their appearances,º they fourº had oneº likeness,º as if² a wheelº had been² in the midstº of a wheel.º 11 When they went,¹ª² they went¹ª² upon² their fourº sides;º they turnedºª not² as they went,¹ª² but² to the placeº whither² the headº lookedºª they followedº¹ª² it; they turnedºª not² as they went.¹ª² 12 And their whole² body,º and their backs,º and their hands,º and their wings,º and the wheels,º [were] fullº of eyesº round about,º [even] the wheelsº that they fourº had. 13 As for the wheels,º it was criedºª unto them in my hearing,º O wheel.º 14 And every oneº had fourº faces:º the firstº faceº [was] the faceº of a cherub,º and the secondº faceº [was] the faceº of a man,º and the thirdº the faceº of a lion,º and the fourthº the faceº of an eagle.º 15 And the cherubimsº were lifted up.ºª This² [is] the living creatureº that² I sawºª by the riverº of Chebar.º 16 And when the cherubimsº went,¹ª² the wheelsº went¹ª² by² them:¹ and when the cherubimsº lifted upºª² their wingsº to mount upºª from²² the earth,º the same² wheelsº also¹² turnedºª not² from besideº² them. 17 When they stood,ºª [these] stood;ºª and when they were lifted up,ºª [these] lifted upºª themselves [also]: for² the spiritº of the living creatureº [was] in them. 18 Then the gloryº of the LORDº departedºª from off²² the thresholdº of the house,º and stoodºª over² the cherubims.º 19 And the cherubimsº lifted upºª² their wings,º and mounted upºª from² the earthº in my sight:º when they went out,ºª the wheelsº also [were] besideº them, and [every one] stoodºª at the doorº of the eastº gateº of the LORD'Sº house;º and the gloryº of the Godº of Israelº [was] over² them above.º² 20 This² [is] the living creatureº that² I sawºª under² the Godº of Israelº by the riverº of Chebar;º and I knewºª that² they² [were] the cherubims.º 21 Every oneº had four¹ faces¹ apiece,º¹² and every oneº fourº wings;º and the likenessº of the handsº of a manº [was] under² their wings.º 22 And the likenessº of their facesº [was] the sameº facesº which² I sawºª by² the riverº of Chebar,º their appearancesº and themselves: they went¹ª² every oneº straight¹ forward.º²²
