wheels were also being lifted up with them, because the spirit of life was in the wheels.<br />

21<br />

When the former were going, the latter were going; when the former stood, the latter<br />

stood; when the former lifted up from the earth, the latter were lifted up with them, for<br />

the spirit of life was in the wheels.<br />

22<br />

On top of the heads of the animals, they had a semblance like a firmament,<br />

something like a vision of crystal, spread out over their wings from above. 23 Their wings<br />

were spread out under the firmament, one flapping against the other; each had two<br />

paired together covering their bodies. 24 I heard the sound of their wings when they<br />

were going, like the sound of much water. A When they stood, their wings rested.<br />

25<br />

Behold, there was a voice from up above the firmament which was on top of their<br />

heads. B<br />

There was something like a vision of a sapphire stone; the semblance of a throne<br />

was on it. On the semblance of the throne was the semblance of something like the<br />

appearance of a man above. 27 I saw something like the sight of amber C from a vision of<br />

the loins upward, and from a vision of the loins on down I saw something like a vision<br />

of fire and its surrounding radiance. 28 Like a vision of a rainbow, whenever it is in the<br />

cloud on days of rain, so was the form of the surrounding radiance. This was the vision<br />

of the semblance of the glory of the Lord. I looked and fell on my face, and I heard the<br />

voice of one speaking.<br />

Ezekiel 2<br />

1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you." 2 The<br />

Spirit came upon me, took me up, lifted me up, and stood me on my feet. I heard him<br />

speaking to me. 3 He said to me, "Son of man, I am sending you forth to the house of<br />

Israel, those who are provoking me, they and their fathers who provoked me to this<br />

day. 4 You will say to them, `Thus says the Lord!´ 5 Whether they then hear or are<br />

terrified (for it is a provoking house), they will know that you are a prophet in their<br />

midst. 6 Son of man, do not be afraid of them or be distraught due to their presence, for<br />

they will incite and riot against you all around, and you will reside in the midst of<br />

scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or be distraught due to their presence, for it<br />

is a provoking house. 7 You will speak my words to them, whether they then hear or are<br />

terrified, for it is a provoking house.<br />

8 Son of man, hear the one who speaks to you; do not be provoking like the<br />

provoking house. Open up your mouth and eat what I give you." 9 I looked, and behold,<br />

a hand stretched out to me, and in it there was a scroll of a document. D 10 He unrolled it<br />

before me, and on it the back and the front had been inscribed. A lamentation, a lyric,<br />

and a woe had been inscribed in it.<br />

like the sound of an encampment. A<br />
