Ezekiel 1:26-28
Holman Christian Standard Bible
26 The shape of a throne with the appearance of sapphire[a] stone was above the expanse.[b](A) There was a form with the appearance of a human on the throne high above.(B) 27 From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around.(C) From what seemed to be His waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around Him. 28 The appearance of the brilliant light all around was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day.(D) This was the appearance of the form of the Lord’s glory.(E) When I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.(F)

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.
