1. I saw the dome that was above the four winged creatures, and on it was the sapphire throne.
2. The Lord said to the man in the linen robe, “Walk among the four wheels beside the creatures and pick up as many hot coals as you can carry. Then scatter them over the city of Jerusalem.” I watched him as he followed the Lord's instructions.
3. The winged creatures were standing south of the temple when the man walked among them. A cloud filled the inner courtyard,
4. and the brightness of the Lord's glory moved from above the creatures and stopped at the entrance of the temple. The entire temple was filled with his glory, and the courtyard was dazzling bright.
5. The sound of the creatures' wings was as loud as the voice of God All-Powerful and could even be heard in the outer courtyard.
6. The man in the robe was now standing beside a wheel.
7. One of the four creatures reached its hand into the fire among them and gave him some of the hot coals. The man took the coals and left.
8. I noticed again that each of the four winged creatures had what looked like human hands under their wings,
15-17. These were the same creatures I had seen near the River Chebar. They controlled when and where the wheels moved—the wheels went wherever the creatures went and stopped whenever they stopped. Even when the creatures flew in the air, the wheels stayed beside them.
21-22. They had four wings with hands beneath them, and they had the same four faces as those near the River. Each creature moved straight ahead without turning.
