⁴ And behold, the ^(A)glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I ^(B)saw in the plain.

^22 (A)Then the hand of the Lord was upon me there, and He said to me, “Arise, go out ^(B)into the plain, and there I shall talk with you.”

²³ So I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, ^(C)the glory of the Lord stood there, like the glory which I ^(D)saw by the River Chebar; ^(E)and I fell on my face.

^3 (A)who being the brightness of His glory and the express ^(B)image of His person, and ^(C)upholding all things by the word of His power, ^(D)when He had ^[a]by Himself ^[b]purged ^[c]our sins, ^(E)sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

⁴ whose minds ^(A)the god of this age ^(B)has blinded, who do not believe, lest ^(C)the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, ^(D)who is the image of God, should shine on them. ^5 (E)For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ^(F)ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. ⁶ For it is the God ^(G)who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has ^(H)shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face, beholding ^(A)as in a mirror ^(B)the glory of the Lord, ^(C)are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as ^[a]by the Spirit of the Lord.

^2 (A)And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. ^(B)His voice was like the sound of many waters; ^(C)and the earth shone with His glory. ³ It was ^(D)like the appearance of the vision which I saw—like the vision which I saw when ^[a]I came ^(E)to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw ^(F)by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face. ^4 (G)And the glory of the Lord came into the ^[b]temple by way of the gate which faces toward the east.

²² So the cherubim ^(A)lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was high above them. ²³ And ^(B)the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city and stood ^(C)on the mountain, ^(D)which is on the east side of the city.

The Glory Departs from the Temple

10 And I looked, and there in the ^(A)firmament^[a] that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne. ^2 (B)Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with ^(C)coals of fire from among the cherubim, and ^(D)scatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched.
