4 I looked up and saw a windstorm coming from the north. I saw a huge cloud. The fire of lightning was flashing out of it. Bright light surrounded it. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal.
5 I saw in the fire something that looked like four living creatures. They appeared to have the shape of a man.
6 But each of them had four faces and four wings.
7 Their legs were straight. Their feet looked like the feet of a calf. They were as bright as polished bronze.
8 The creatures had a man's hands under their wings on their four sides. All four of them had faces and wings.
9 Their wings touched one another. Each of the creatures went straight ahead. They didn't change their direction as they moved.
10 Here's what their faces looked like. Each of the four creatures had a man's face. On the right side each had the face of a lion. On the left each had the face of an ox. Each one also had an eagle's face.
