Ezekiel 1:25-28
New American Standard Bible
25 And a voice came from above the (A)expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they let down their wings.
26 Now (B)above the expanse that was over their heads there was something (C)resembling a throne, like [a](D)lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a (E)man. 27 Then I [b]noticed from the appearance of His waist and upward something (F)like gleaming [c]metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28 Like the appearance of the (G)rainbow [d]in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the (H)glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I (I)fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
25 A voice came from above the expanse over their heads; when they stood still, they lowered their wings. 26 The shape of a throne with the appearance of sapphire[a] stone was above the expanse.[b](A) There was a form with the appearance of a human on the throne high above.(B) 27 From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around.(C) From what seemed to be His waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around Him. 28 The appearance of the brilliant light all around was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day.(D) This was the appearance of the form of the Lord’s glory.(E) When I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.(F)

25 Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne(A) of lapis lazuli,(B) and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.(C) 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.(D) 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow(E) in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.(F)
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory(G) of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown,(H) and I heard the voice of one speaking.
