Ezekiel 1:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ Above the dome over their heads there was something like a sapphire in the form of a throne, and seated high above the likeness of a throne there was a form with the appearance of a man.

²⁷ Upward from what resembled his waist I beheld what looked like fire that gave forth a brilliant light all around. ²⁸ The radiance of the encircling light was like a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day.

Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. When I beheld it, I prostrated myself on the ground, and I heard a voice speaking to me.
