15 (A)Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them.[a] 16 (B)As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like (C)the gleaming of beryl. (D)And the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel. 17 (E)When they went, they went (F)in any of their four directions[b] (G)without turning as they went. 18 And their rims were tall and awesome, (H)and the rims of all four were full of eyes all around. 19 (I)And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; (J)and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose. 20 (K)Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them, (L)for the spirit of the living creatures[c] was in the wheels. 21 (M)When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; (N)and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them, (O)for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

15 As I looked at the living creatures,(A) I saw a wheel(B) on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. 16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz,(C) and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction(D) as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes(E) all around.

19 When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. 20 Wherever the spirit would go, they would go,(F) and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. 21 When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.(G)

(A)And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and (B)the appearance of the wheels was (C)like sparkling (D)beryl. 10 And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel. 11 (E)When they went, they went in any of their four directions[a] (F)without turning as they went, (G)but in whatever direction the front wheel[b] faced, the others followed without turning as they went. 12 (H)And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings,[c] and the wheels were full of eyes all around—the wheels that the four of them had. 13 As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing (I)“the whirling wheels.” 14 (J)And every one had four faces: (K)the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was (L)a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

I looked, and I saw beside the cherubim four wheels, one beside each of the cherubim; the wheels sparkled like topaz.(A) 10 As for their appearance, the four of them looked alike; each was like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 11 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the cherubim faced; the wheels did not turn about[a] as the cherubim went. The cherubim went in whatever direction the head faced, without turning as they went. 12 Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes,(B) as were their four wheels.(C) 13 I heard the wheels being called “the whirling wheels.” 14 Each of the cherubim(D) had four faces:(E) One face was that of a cherub, the second the face of a human being, the third the face of a lion,(F) and the fourth the face of an eagle.(G)
