Ezekiel 1:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 So were their faces; their wings were spread out upward;[a] each had two touching one another and two covering their bodies. 12 And each went straight forward;[b] wherever the spirit went[c] they went, and they did not turn as they went.[d] 13 As for[e] the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. It[f] was moving to and fro between the living creatures, and the fire was very bright[g] and lightning was going out from the fire.

Ezekiel 1:11-13
King James Version
11 Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
12 And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
