Ezekiel 1:25-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ Then a voice came from above the huge space over their heads. They stood with their wings lowered. ²⁶ Above the space over their heads was something that looked like a throne made out of lapis lazuli. On the throne high above was a figure that appeared to be a man. ²⁷ From his waist up he looked like glowing metal that was full of fire. From his waist down he looked like fire. Bright light surrounded him. ²⁸ The glow around him looked like a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day.

That’s what the glory of the Lord looked like. When I saw it, I fell with my face toward the ground. Then I heard the voice of someone speaking.
