Ezekiel 1:3-5
New King James Version
3 the word of the Lord came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the [a]Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and (A)the hand of the Lord was upon him there.
4 Then I looked, and behold, (B)a whirlwind was coming (C)out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. 5 (D)Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And (E)this was their appearance: they had (F)the likeness of a man.
