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.

Ezekiel 1:25-28
English Standard Version
25 And there came a voice from above (A)the expanse over their heads. When they stood still, they let down their wings.
26 And above the expanse over their heads there was (B)the likeness of a throne, (C)in appearance (D)like sapphire;[a] and seated above the likeness of a throne was (E)a likeness with a human appearance. 27 And (F)upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were (G)gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and (H)there was brightness around him.[b] 28 Like the appearance of (I)the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.
Such was the appearance of the likeness of (J)the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, (K)I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
