Ezekiel 1:25-28
World English Bible
25 There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings. 26 Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire[a] stone. On the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above. 27 I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him. 28 As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.
This was the appearance of the likeness of Yahweh’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.

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.
