Ezekiel 1:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible
15 When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.
16 The workmanship of the wheels looked like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their workmanship looked like a wheel within a wheel.
17 As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.
18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
19 So as the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose.
