(E)The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. And the (F)four living creatures, each one of them having (G)six wings, are (H)full of eyes around and within; and (I)day and night [b]they do not cease to say,
