Ezekiel 1:26-28

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁶ And above the dome over their heads there was something like a throne, in appearance like sapphire;^[a] and seated above the likeness of a throne was something that seemed like a human form. ²⁷ Upwards from what appeared like the loins I saw something like gleaming amber, something that looked like fire enclosed all round; and downwards from what looked like the loins I saw something that looked like fire, and there was a splendour all round. ²⁸ Like the bow in a cloud on a rainy day, such was the appearance of the splendour all round. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of someone speaking.
