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.

Common English Bible
25 Then there was a sound from above the dome over their heads. They stood still, and their wings came to rest.
26 Above the dome over their heads, there appeared something like lapis lazuli in the form of a throne. Above the form of the throne there was a form that looked like a human being. 27 Above what looked like his waist, I saw something like gleaming amber, something like fire enclosing it all around. Below what looked like his waist, I saw something that appeared to be fire. Its brightness shone all around. 28 Just as a rainbow lights up a cloud on a rainy day, so its brightness shone all around. This was how the form of the Lord’s glory appeared. When I saw it, I fell on my face. I heard the sound of someone speaking.
