Ezekiel 1:25-28
New King James Version
25 A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.
26 (A)And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, (B)in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above (C)it. 27 Also from the appearance of His waist and upward (D)I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. 28 (E)Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. (F)This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.
Ezekiel Sent to Rebellious Israel
So when I saw it, (G)I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

Ezekiel 1:25-28
American Standard Version
25 And there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads: when they stood, they let down their wings.
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone; and upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above. 27 And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about [a]him. 28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
