And before the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal.

In the middle of the throne and around it were four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind.[a]

The first living creature was like a lion,

the second living creature was like an ox,

the third living creature had a face

like a man,

and the fourth living creature was

like a flying eagle.[b]

The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes all around and within.[c] They do not rest day or night, chanting,

Kadosh, kadosh, kadosh
    Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot,[d]
    asher haya v’hoveh v’yavo!
Holy, holy, holy
    is the Lord God of Hosts,
    who was and who is
    and who is to come!”
