^12 (A)Then the Spirit^[a] lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice^[b] of ^(B)a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of the Lord from its place!” ¹³ It was the sound of the wings of ^(C)the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of ^(D)a great earthquake. ^14 (E)The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, the ^(F)hand of the Lord being strong upon me. ^15 (G)And I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were dwelling ^(H)by the Chebar canal, and I sat where they were dwelling.^[c] And ^(I)I sat there ^(J)overwhelmed among them ^(K)seven days.

^9 (A)And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and ^(B)the appearance of the wheels was ^(C)like sparkling ^(D)beryl. ¹⁰ And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel. ^11 (E)When they went, they went in any of their four directions^{[a] (F)}without turning as they went, ^(G)but in whatever direction the front wheel^[b] faced, the others followed without turning as they went. ^12 (H)And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings,^[c] and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had. ¹³ As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing ^(I)“the whirling wheels.” ^14 (J)And every one had four faces: ^(K)the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was ^(L)a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

^15 (M)And the cherubim mounted up. These were ^(N)the living creatures that I saw by ^(O)the Chebar canal.
