NKJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]

New King James Version

International Standard Version

1And I looked, and there in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne.

1As I continued to watch, there on the expanse above the heads of the cherubim was a massive sapphire stone that resembled a throne in form and appearance.

2Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said, “Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire from among the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” And he went in as I watched.

2The LORD spoke to the man who was clothed in white linen, telling him, "Go between the whirling wheels, under the cherubim, and fill your hands with burning coals from among the cherubim. Then scatter them over the city." So he entered as I watched.

3Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.

3Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the entrance to the Temple, when the man entered and a cloud filled the inner court.

4Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of the temple; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory.

4The glory of the LORD rose above the cherub and moved to the threshold of the Temple. A cloud filled the Temple and the court was filled with the brilliance of the LORD's glory.

5And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.

5The sound of the wings of the cherubim, reminiscent of the voice of the Sovereign God when he speaks, could be heard as far as the outer court.

6Then it happened, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside the wheels.

6He issued this order to the man who was clothed in white linen: "Take fire from within the whirling wheels, among the cherubim." So he went and stood beside the wheels.

7And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.

7Then a cherub stretched out his hand to the fire, which was among the cherubim, took some of the fire, and placed it in the hands of the one clothed in white linen, who took it and left.

8The cherubim appeared to have the form of a man’s hand under their wings.

8There appeared to be human hands under the wings of the cherubim.

9And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim, one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels appeared to have the color of a beryl stone.

9As I continued to watch, I observed four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The wheels resembled beryl stone.

10As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.

10In appearance, the four wheels looked like they consisted of a wheel within a wheel.

11When they went, they went toward any of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went.

11Whenever they moved, they proceeded without turning around as they moved, but they followed in the direction where their head was facing, without looking around as they moved.

12And their whole body, with their back, their hands, their wings, and the wheels that the four had, were full of eyes all around.

12Their entire bodies, backs, hands, and wings were filled with eyes around, including each of their four wheels.

13As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing, “Wheel.”

13The wheels whose sound I was hearing were called "the whirling wheels".

14Each one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

14Each had four faces. The first one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a man, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

15And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature I saw by the River Chebar.

15The cherubim arose. These were the same beings that I had seen at the Chebar River.

16When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also did not turn from beside them.

16When the cherubim moved, the wheels went alongside them. But when the cherubim started to ascend, beating their wings to rise above the earth, the wheels beside them didn't turn.

17When the cherubim stood still, the wheels stood still, and when one was lifted up, the other lifted itself up, for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

17When they stood still, the wheels stood still. When they rose up, the wheels rose up, too, because they were alive.

18Then the glory of the LORD departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim.

18Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the Temple and stood over the cherubim.

19And the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

19The cherubim lifted their wings and rose above the earth while I watched. They went out, along with their wheels, and stood at the entrance to the east gate of the LORD's Temple as the glory of Israel's God remained above, covering them.

20This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel by the River Chebar, and I knew they were cherubim.

20These were the living beings that I had seen under the God of Israel on the bank of the Chebar River. I knew that they were cherubim.

21Each one had four faces and each one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

21Each one had four faces. Each one had four wings, and the form of human hands could be seen under their wings.

22And the likeness of their faces was the same as the faces which I had seen by the River Chebar, their appearance and their persons. They each went straight forward.

22As to the likeness of their faces, they were like what I had seen on the bank of the Chebar River. They each moved straight ahead.
