Ezekiel 1

Gen Z: Ezekiel 1

1So, it was the thirtieth year, fourth month, fifth day, and I was chillin' by the river Chebar with the squad, and then boom, the heavens opened up and I saw some wild visions of God.

2On the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s prison vibes,

3The Lord hit up Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the Lord's hand was totally on him.

4I peeped, and outta nowhere, a whirlwind rolled in from the north, big cloud, fire all wrapped up, and it was shining bright, looking like amber in the fire.

5Then outta that fire came four living creatures, and they looked kinda human.

6Each one had four faces and four wings, no cap.

7Their feet were straight up like a human's, but the soles were all calf-like and sparkled like fancy brass.

8They had hands like a human under their wings on all sides; each had their faces and wings all set up.

9Their wings were all connected; they didn’t even turn when they moved, just went straight up, fr.

10As for their faces, each had a human face, a lion face on the right, an ox face on the left, and an eagle face too.

11Their faces were vibin' and wings stretched up, two wings linked together and two covering their bodies, no cap.

12They all just went straight up, wherever the spirit was feeling, they followed, no turns, just vibes.

13The living creatures looked like burning fire coals, lit like lamps, moving up and down, bright fire with lightning popping off.

14The living creatures were running back and forth like a flash of lightning, fr.

15I saw a wheel chilling on the ground by the living creatures, with four faces, straight up.

16The wheels looked like beryl, all matching, and it was like a wheel inside a wheel, bussin'.

17They rolled on their four sides, and didn’t even turn when they moved, savage.

18Their rings were super high and kinda scary, full of eyes all around, no cap.

19When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them; when they lifted off, the wheels lifted too.

20Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels lifted up with them, 'cause the spirit was in the wheels, periodt.

21When they moved, these moved; when they stood, these stood; and when they lifted off, the wheels were like, "We vibin' too," 'cause the spirit was in the wheels.

22The vibe above their heads looked like some wild crystal, stretched out like a flex over them.

23Under that vibe, their wings were straight, one facing the other; each had two wings covering their bodies, no cap.

24When they moved, their wings made a sound like rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, straight fire; when they stood, they dropped their wings.

25A voice came from above their heads when they stood and let their wings down, just chillin'.

26Above them was a throne that looked like a sapphire stone, and on that throne was a vibe of a man, just chilling up there.

27I saw this amber glow, looking like fire all around it, from the waist up and down, straight fire, with a bright glow all around.

28It was like a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, the brightness around it was the glory of the Lord. When I saw it, I was like, "Whoa," and I fell on my face, hearing a voice speaking.

KJV: Ezekiel 1

1Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

2In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity,

3The word of the Lord came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.

4And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

5Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

6And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.

7And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

8And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

9Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.

10As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.

11Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

12And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.

13As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

14And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

15Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.

16The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

17When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.

18As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.

19And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

20Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

21When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

22And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.

23And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.

24And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.

25And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.

26And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

27And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

28As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
