Ezekiel 1:26-2:1
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
26 And above the dome over their heads there was something like a throne, in appearance like sapphire,[a] and seated above the likeness of the throne was something that seemed like a human form.(A) 27 Upward from what appeared like the loins I saw something like gleaming amber, something that looked like fire enclosed all around, and downward from what looked like the loins I saw something that looked like fire, and there was a splendor all around.(B) 28 Like the bow in a cloud on a rainy day, such was the appearance of the splendor all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking.(C)
The Vision of the Scroll
2 He said to me: “O mortal,[b] stand up on your feet, and I will speak with you.”(D)
