Ezekiel 1:25-28
Christian Standard Bible
25 A voice came from above the expanse over their heads; when they stopped, they lowered their wings. 26 Something like a throne with the appearance of lapis lazuli was above the expanse over their heads.(A) On the throne, high above, was someone who looked like a human.(B) 27 From what seemed to be his waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around.(C) From what seemed to be his waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around him. 28 The appearance of the brilliant light all around was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day.(D) This was the appearance of the likeness of the Lord’s glory.(E) When I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.(F)
