Ezekiel 1:11-13
Good News Translation
11 Two wings[a] of each creature were raised so that they touched the tips of the wings of the creatures next to it, and their other two wings were folded against their bodies. 12 Each creature faced all four directions, and so the group could go wherever they wished, without having to turn.
13 (A)Among[b] the creatures there was something that looked like a blazing torch, constantly moving. The fire would blaze up and shoot out flashes of lightning.

Ezekiel 1:11-13
New International Version
11 Such were their faces. They each had two wings(A) spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body. 12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.(B) 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals(C) of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning(D) flashed out of it.
