Ezekiel 1:4-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And I saw, and behold a whirlwind came out of the north: and a great cloud, and a fire infolding it, and brightness was about it: and out of the midst thereof, that is, out of the midst of the fire, as it were the resemblance of amber:

⁵ And in the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures: and this was their appearance: there was the likeness of a man in them.

⁶ Every one had four faces, and every one four wings.

⁷ Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of a calf's foot, and they sparkled like the appearance of glowing brass.

⁸ And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides: and they had faces, and wings on the four sides,

⁹ And the wings of one were joined to the wings of another. They turned not when they went: but every one went straight forward.

¹⁰ And as for the likeness of their faces: there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side of all the four: and the face of an ox, on the left side of all the four: and the face of an eagle over all the four.
