Ezekiel 1:14-20
New American Standard Bible
15Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one wheel on the ground beside the living beings, for each of the four of them.
16The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling topaz, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another.
17Whenever they moved, they moved in any of their four directions without turning as they moved.
18As for their rims, they were high and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were covered with eyes all around.
19Whenever the living beings moved, the wheels moved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.
20Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction . And the wheels rose just as they did; for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
King James Version
15Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
16The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
18As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
19And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
20Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Christian Standard Bible
15When I looked at the living creatures, there was one wheel on the ground beside each of the four-faced creatures.
16The appearance of the wheels and their craftsmanship was like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their appearance and craftsmanship was like a wheel within a wheel.
17When they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved.
18Their rims were tall and awe-inspiring. Each of their four rims were full of eyes all around.
19When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels also rose.
20Wherever the Spirit wanted to go, the creatures went in the direction the Spirit was moving. The wheels rose alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
New Living Translation
15As I looked at these beings, I saw four wheels touching the ground beside them, one wheel belonging to each.
16The wheels sparkled as if made of beryl. All four wheels looked alike and were made the same; each wheel had a second wheel turning crosswise within it.
17The beings could move in any of the four directions they faced, without turning as they moved.
18The rims of the four wheels were tall and frightening, and they were covered with eyes all around.
