Now it came to pass in the thirtiethH7970 yearH8141, in the fourthH7243 month, in the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, as I was amongH8432 the captivesH1473 by the riverH5104 of ChebarH3529, that the heavensH8064 were openedH6605, and I sawH7200 visionsH4759 of GodH430. {captives: Heb. captivity}
In the fifthH2568 day of the monthH2320, which was the fifthH2549 yearH8141 of kingH4428 Jehoiachin'sH3112 captivityH1546,
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came expressly unto EzekielH3168 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of BuziH941, in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778 by the riverH5104 ChebarH3529; and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was there upon him. {Ezekiel: Heb. Jehezkel}
And I lookedH7200, and, behold, a whirlwindH7307+H5591 cameH935 out of the northH6828, a greatH1419 cloudH6051, and a fireH784 infoldingH3947 itself, and a brightnessH5051 was aboutH5439 it, and out of the midstH8432 thereof as the colourH5869 of amberH2830, out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784. {infolding…: Heb. catching itself}
Also out of the midstH8432 thereof came the likenessH1823 of fourH702 living creaturesH2416. And this was their appearanceH4758; theyH2007 had the likenessH1823 of a manH120.
And every oneH259 had fourH702 facesH6440, and every oneH259 had fourH702 wingsH3671.
And their feetH7272 were straightH3477 feetH7272; and the soleH3709 of their feetH7272 was like the soleH3709 of a calf'sH5695 footH7272: and they sparkledH5340 like the colourH5869 of burnishedH7044 brassH5178. {straight…: Heb. a straight foot}
And they had the handsH3027 of a manH120 under their wingsH3671 on their fourH702 sidesH7253; and they fourH702 had their facesH6440 and their wingsH3671.
Their wingsH3671 were joinedH2266 oneH802 to anotherH269; they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212; they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440.
As for the likenessH1823 of their facesH6440, they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of a manH120, and the faceH6440 of a lionH738, on the right sideH3225: and they fourH702 had the faceH6440 of an oxH7794 on the left sideH8040; they fourH702 also had the faceH6440 of an eagleH5404.
Thus were their facesH6440: and their wingsH3671 were stretchedH6504 upwardH4605; twoH8147 wings of every oneH376 were joinedH2266 oneH376 to anotherH376, and twoH8147 coveredH3680 their bodiesH1472. {stretched…: or, divided above}
And they wentH3212 every oneH376 straightH5676 forwardH6440: whither the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212; and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212.
As for the likenessH1823 of the living creaturesH2416, their appearanceH4758 was like burningH1197 coalsH1513 of fireH784, and like the appearanceH4758 of lampsH3940: it went up and downH1980 among the living creaturesH2416; and the fireH784 was brightH5051, and out of the fireH784 went forthH3318 lightningH1300.
And the living creaturesH2416 ranH7519 and returnedH7725 as the appearanceH4758 of a flash of lightningH965.
Now as I beheldH7200 the living creaturesH2416, behold oneH259 wheelH212 upon the earthH776 byH681 the living creaturesH2416, with his fourH702 facesH6440.
The appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 and their workH4639 was like unto the colourH5869 of a berylH8658: and they fourH702 had oneH259 likenessH1823: and their appearanceH4758 and their workH4639 was as it were a wheelH212 in the middleH8432 of a wheelH212.
When they wentH3212, they wentH3212 upon their fourH702 sidesH7253: and they turnedH5437 not when they wentH3212.
As for their ringsH1354, they were so highH1363 that they were dreadfulH3374; and their ringsH1354 were fullH4392 of eyesH5869 round aboutH5439 them fourH702. {and their rings: or, and their strakes}
And when the living creaturesH2416 wentH3212, the wheelsH212 wentH3212 by themH681: and when the living creaturesH2416 were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375.
Whithersoever the spiritH7307 was to goH3212, they wentH3212, thither was their spiritH7307 to goH3212; and the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in the wheelsH212. {of…: or, of life}
When those wentH3212, these wentH3212; and when those stoodH5975, these stoodH5975; and when those were lifted upH5375 from the earthH776, the wheelsH212 were lifted upH5375 over againstH5980 them: for the spiritH7307 of the living creatureH2416 was in the wheelsH212. {of…: or, of life}
And the likenessH1823 of the firmamentH7549 upon the headsH7218 of the living creatureH2416 was as the colourH5869 of the terribleH3372 crystalH7140, stretched forthH5186 over their headsH7218 aboveH4605.
And under the firmamentH7549 were their wingsH3671 straightH3477, the oneH802 toward the otherH269: every oneH376 had twoH8147, which coveredH3680 on this sideH2007, and every oneH376 had twoH8147, which coveredH3680 on that sideH2007, their bodiesH1472.
And when they wentH3212, I heardH8085 the noiseH6963 of their wingsH3671, like the noiseH6963 of greatH7227 watersH4325, as the voiceH6963 of the AlmightyH7706, the voiceH6963 of speechH1999, as the noiseH6963 of an hostH4264: when they stoodH5975, they let downH7503 their wingsH3671.
And there was a voiceH6963 from the firmamentH7549 that was over their headsH7218, when they stoodH5975, and had let downH7503 their wingsH3671.
And aboveH4605 the firmamentH7549 that was over their headsH7218 was the likenessH1823 of a throneH3678, as the appearanceH4758 of a sapphireH5601 stoneH68: and upon the likenessH1823 of the throneH3678 was the likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of a manH120 aboveH4605 upon it.
And I sawH7200 as the colourH5869 of amberH2830, as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784 round aboutH5439 withinH1004 it, from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even upwardH4605, and from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downwardH4295, I sawH7200 as it were the appearanceH4758 of fireH784, and it had brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439.
As the appearanceH4758 of the bowH7198 that is in the cloudH6051 in the dayH3117 of rainH1653, so was the appearanceH4758 of the brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439. This was the appearanceH4758 of the likenessH1823 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068. And when I sawH7200 it, I fellH5307 upon my faceH6440, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963 of one that spakeH1696.

The burdenH4853 of the desertH4057 of the seaH3220. As whirlwindsH5492 in the southH5045 passH2498 through; so it comethH935 from the desertH4057, from a terribleH3372 landH776.
And he spakeH559 unto the manH376 clothedH3847 with linenH906, and saidH559, Go inH935 betweenH996 the wheelsH1534, even under the cherubH3742, and fillH4390 thine handH2651 with coalsH1513 of fireH784 from betweenH996 the cherubimsH3742, and scatterH2236 them over the cityH5892. And he went inH935 in my sightH5869. {thine hand: Heb. the hollow of thine hand}
Now the cherubimsH3742 stoodH5975 on the right sideH3225 of the houseH1004, when the manH376 went inH935; and the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the innerH6442 courtH2691.
Then the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 went upH7311 from the cherubH3742, and stood over the thresholdH4670 of the houseH1004; and the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with the cloudH6051, and the courtH2691 was fullH4390 of the brightnessH5051 of the LORD'SH3068 gloryH3519. {went up: Heb. was lifted up}
And I sawH7200 as the colourH5869 of amberH2830, as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784 round aboutH5439 withinH1004 it, from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even upwardH4605, and from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downwardH4295, I sawH7200 as it were the appearanceH4758 of fireH784, and it had brightnessH5051 round aboutH5439.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me the second timeH8145, sayingH559, What seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a seethingH5301 potH5518; and the faceH6440 thereof is towardH6440 the northH6828. {toward…: Heb. from the face of the north}
And it came to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 in the morningH1242, that there were thundersH6963 and lightningsH1300, and a thickH3515 cloudH6051 upon the mountH2022, and the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782 exceedingH3966 loudH2389; so that all the peopleH5971 that was in the campH4264 trembledH2729.
And MosesH4872 brought forthH3318 the peopleH5971 out of the campH4264 to meetH7125 with GodH430; and they stoodH3320 at the netherH8482 part of the mountH2022.
And mountH2022 SinaiH5514 was altogether on a smokeH6225, becauseH6440+H834 the LORDH3068 descendedH3381 upon it in fireH784: and the smokeH6227 thereof ascendedH5927 as the smokeH6227 of a furnaceH3536, and the whole mountH2022 quakedH2729 greatlyH3966.
Then I beheldH7200, and lo a likenessH1823 as the appearanceH4758 of fireH784: from the appearanceH4758 of his loinsH4975 even downwardH4295, fireH784; and from his loinsH4975 even upwardH4605, as the appearanceH4758 of brightnessH2096, as the colourH5869 of amberH2830.
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, Out of the northH6828 an evilH7451 shall break forthH6605 upon all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. {shall…: Heb. shall be opened}
And the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 abodeH7931 upon mountH2022 SinaiH5514, and the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 it sixH8337 daysH3117: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 he calledH7121 unto MosesH4872 out of the midstH8432 of the cloudH6051.
And there appearedH7200 in the cherubimsH3742 the formH8403 of a man'sH120 handH3027 under their wingsH3671.
Set upH5375 the standardH5251 toward ZionH6726: retireH5756, stayH5975 not: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 destructionH7667. {retire: or, strengthen} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
And the sightH4758 of the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 was like devouringH398 fireH784 on the topH7218 of the mountH2022 in the eyesH5869 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
And when I lookedH7200, behold the fourH702 wheelsH212 byH681 the cherubimsH3742, oneH259 wheelH212 byH681 oneH259 cherubH3742, and anotherH259 wheelH212 byH681 anotherH259 cherubH3742: and the appearanceH4758 of the wheelsH212 was as the colourH5869 of a berylH8658 stoneH68.
O ye childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144, gather yourselves to fleeH5756 out of the midstH7130 of JerusalemH3389, and blowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in TekoaH8620, and set upH5375 a signH4864 of fire in BethhacceremH1021: for evilH7451 appearethH8259 out of the northH6828, and greatH1419 destructionH7667.
And ye came nearH7126 and stoodH5975 under the mountainH2022; and the mountainH2022 burnedH1197 with fireH784 unto the midstH3820 of heavenH8064, with darknessH6205, cloudsH6051, and thick darknessH2822. {midst: Heb. heart}
AndG2532 hisG846 feetG4228 likeG3664 unto fine brassG5474, asG5613 if they burnedG4448 inG1722 a furnaceG2575; andG2532 hisG846 voiceG5456 asG5613 the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204.
Behold, a whirlwindH5591 of the LORDH3068 is gone forthH3318 in furyH2534, even a grievousH2342 whirlwindH5591: it shall fall grievouslyH2342 upon the headH7218 of the wickedH7563.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto you out of the midstH8432 of the fireH784: ye heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of the wordsH1697, but sawH7200 no similitudeH8544; onlyH2108 ye heard a voiceH6963. {only…: Heb. save a voice}
Behold, I will sendH7971 and takeH3947 all the familiesH4940 of the northH6828, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, my servantH5650, and will bringH935 them against this landH776, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, and against all these nationsH1471 round aboutH5439, and will utterly destroyH2763 them, and makeH7760 them an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, and perpetualH5769 desolationsH2723.
It came even to pass, as the trumpetersH2690+H2690 and singersH7891 were as oneH259, to make oneH259 soundH6963 to be heardH8085 in praisingH1984 and thankingH3034 the LORDH3068; and when they lifted upH7311 their voiceH6963 with the trumpetsH2689 and cymbalsH4700 and instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, and praisedH1984 the LORDH3068, saying, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769: that then the houseH1004 was filledH4390 with a cloudH6051, even the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068;
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Behold, evilH7451 shall go forthH3318 from nationH1471 to nationH1471, and a greatH1419 whirlwindH5591 shall be raised upH5782 from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776.
So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not standH5975 to ministerH8334 by reasonH6440 of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of GodH430.
Their horsesH5483 also are swifterH7043 than the leopardsH5246, and are more fierceH2300 than the eveningH6153 wolvesH2061: and their horsemenH6571 shall spreadH6335 themselves, and their horsemenH6571 shall comeH935 from farH7350; they shall flyH5774 as the eagleH5404 that hastethH2363 to eatH398. {fierce: Heb. sharp}
Then saidH559 SolomonH8010, The LORDH3068 hath saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thick darknessH6205.
They shall comeH935 all for violenceH2555: their facesH6440 shall sup upH4041 as the east windH6921, and they shall gatherH622 the captivityH7628 as the sandH2344. {their…: or, the supping up of their faces, etc: or, their faces shall look (Heb. the opposition of their faces) toward the east}
Now when SolomonH8010 had made an endH3615 of prayingH6419, the fireH784 came downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sacrificesH2077; and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 filledH4390 the houseH1004.
And the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not enterH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, because the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004.
And when all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 sawH7200 how the fireH784 came downH3381, and the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 upon the houseH1004, they bowedH3766 themselves with their facesH639 to the groundH776 upon the pavementH7531, and worshippedH7812, and praisedH3034 the LORDH3068, saying, For he is goodH2896; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769.
He madeH7896 darknessH2822 his secret placeH5643; his pavilionH5521 round aboutH5439 him were darkH2824 watersH4325 and thick cloudsH5645 of the skiesH7834.
At the brightnessH5051 that was before him his thick cloudsH5645 passedH5674, hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784.
The LORDH3068 also thunderedH7481 in the heavensH8064, and the HighestH5945 gaveH5414 his voiceH6963; hailH1259 stones and coalsH1513 of fireH784.
Our GodH430 shall comeH935, and shall not keep silenceH2790: a fireH784 shall devourH398 beforeH6440 him, and it shall be veryH3966 tempestuousH8175 round aboutH5439 him.
CloudsH6051 and darknessH6205 are round aboutH5439 him: righteousnessH6664 and judgmentH4941 are the habitationH4349 of his throneH3678. {habitation: or, establishment}
Who layeth the beamsH7136 of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325: who makethH7760 the cloudsH5645 his chariotH7398: who walkethH1980 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307:
The burdenH4853 of EgyptH4714. Behold, the LORDH3068 ridethH7392 upon a swiftH7031 cloudH5645, and shall comeH935 into EgyptH4714: and the idolsH457 of EgyptH4714 shall be movedH5128 at his presenceH6440, and the heartH3824 of EgyptH4714 shall meltH4549 in the midstH7130 of it.
The LORDH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will not at allH5352 acquitH5352 the wicked: the LORDH3068 hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwindH5492 and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272.
He rebukethH1605 the seaH3220, and maketh it dryH2717, and drieth upH3001 all the riversH5104: BashanH1316 languishethH535, and CarmelH3760, and the flowerH6525 of LebanonH3844 languishethH535.
The mountainsH2022 quakeH7493 at him, and the hillsH1389 meltH4127, and the earthH776 is burnedH5375 at his presenceH6440, yea, the worldH8398, and all that dwellH3427 therein.
Who can standH5975 beforeH6440 his indignationH2195? and who can abideH6965 in the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639? his furyH2534 is poured outH5413 like fireH784, and the rocksH6697 are thrown downH5422 by him. {abide: Heb. stand up}
GodH433 cameH935 from TemanH8487, and the Holy OneH6918 from mountH2022 ParanH6290. SelahH5542. His gloryH1935 coveredH3680 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 was fullH4390 of his praiseH8416. {Teman: or, the south}
And his brightnessH5051 was as the lightH216; he had hornsH7161 coming out of his handH3027: and there was the hidingH2253 of his powerH5797. {horns…: or, bright beams out of his side}
BeforeH6440 him wentH3212 the pestilenceH1698, and burning coalsH7565 went forthH3318 at his feetH7272. {coals: or, diseases}
