Ezekiel 10:10-12
New English Translation
10 As for their appearance, all four of them looked the same, something like a wheel within a wheel.[a] 11 When they[b] moved, they would go in any of the four directions they faced without turning as they moved; in the direction the head would turn they would follow[c] without turning as they moved, 12 along with their entire bodies,[d] their backs, their hands, and their wings. The wheels of the four of them were full of eyes all around.
