Ezekiel 1:25-28
New Living Translation
25 As they stood with wings lowered, a voice spoke from beyond the crystal surface above them.
26 Above this surface was something that looked like a throne made of blue lapis lazuli. And on this throne high above was a figure whose appearance resembled a man. 27 From what appeared to be his waist up, he looked like gleaming amber, flickering like a fire. And from his waist down, he looked like a burning flame, shining with splendor. 28 All around him was a glowing halo, like a rainbow shining in the clouds on a rainy day. This is what the glory of the Lord looked like to me. When I saw it, I fell face down on the ground, and I heard someone’s voice speaking to me.

Legacy Standard Bible
25 And there came a sound from above the (A)expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.
26 Now (B)above the expanse that was over their heads there was something in the (C)likeness of a throne, like (D)sapphire stone in appearance; and upon the likeness of the throne, high up, was the likeness of one with the appearance of a (E)man. 27 Then I saw from the appearance of His loins and upward something (F)like the gleam of [a]glowing metal with the appearance of fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something with the appearance of fire; and there was a radiance all around Him. 28 As the appearance of the (G)rainbow [b]in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the radiance all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the (H)glory of Yahweh. And I saw this, and I (I)fell on my face and heard a sound of a voice speaking.
