Ezekiel 1:26-28
English Standard Version
26 And above the expanse over their heads there was (A)the likeness of a throne, (B)in appearance (C)like sapphire;[a] and seated above the likeness of a throne was (D)a likeness with a human appearance. 27 And (E)upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were (F)gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and (G)there was brightness around him.[b] 28 Like the appearance of (H)the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.
Such was the appearance of the likeness of (I)the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, (J)I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

Ezekiel 1:26-28
New International Version
26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne(A) of lapis lazuli,(B) and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.(C) 27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.(D) 28 Like the appearance of a rainbow(E) in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.(F)
This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory(G) of the Lord. When I saw it, I fell facedown,(H) and I heard the voice of one speaking.
