and the likeness of their faces was the face of a man, with the face of a lion to the right of the four of them, and the face of an ox on the left, of the four of them, - the face of an eagle, also had they four;

and each one straight before him, did they go, - whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went, they turned not when they went.

The appearance of the wheels and of their structure was like a Tarshish-stone to look upon, and they four had one likeness, - and their appearance and their structure were just as would be a wheel in the midst of a wheel.

As for their rings, they were so high that they were terrible, -and their rings full of eyes round about, had they four.

whithersoever the spirit was minded to go, they went - thither was the spirit minded to go, - and the wheels would be lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels:

when they went, these went, and when they stood, there stood, - ad when they were lifted up from off the earth, the wheels were lifted up along with them, for the spirit of the living one was in the wheels.

And I heard the sound of their wings, as the sound of many waters, as the sound of the Almighty, when they went, the sound of a storm as the sound of a host, - when they stood, they let down their wings,

And there was a voice above the expanse that was over their head, - when they stood, they let down their wings.

And he said unto me- Son of man I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto rebellious nations, which have rebelled against me, - they, and their fathers have transgressed against me, until this very day;

And they! whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for a perverse house, they are, shall then know that la prophet hath been in their midst.

But thou son of man Be not afraid of them Nor of their words, be afraid Though thorns and thistles are about thee, And amongst prickly plants, thou dost dwell, Of their words, be not afraid nor At their faces, be thou dismayed, For a perverse house, they are!

liner unto many peoples deep of lip and heavy of tongue, whose words thou couldst not understand, - surely if unto them I had sent thee, they would have hearkened unto thee.

But the house of Israel will not be willing to hearken unto thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto me, - for all the house of Israel are bold of forehead and hard of heart.

then go get thee unto them of the captivity, unto the cons of thy people, and thou shalt speak unto them and say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear.

Thus came I unto them of the captivity, at Tel-abib. who were dwelling towards he river Chebar and I dwelt where They were dwelling; yea I dwelt there seven days, stunned in their midst,

And thou - O son of man, lo! they have put upon thee bands, and they will bind thee therewith,-.so that thou go not forth in their midst;

thy tongue also, will I cause to cleave unto the roof of thy mouth, so shalt thou be dumb and not be to them a reprover, - For a perverse house, they are!

But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them. Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, - He that is minded to hear, let him hear, And he that is minded to forbear, let him forbear! For a perverse house, they are!

And he said unto me, Son of man Behold me! breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, So shall they eat bread by weight and with anxious care, And water by measure, and in astonishment, shall they drink:

that they may lack bread and water and be astonished one with another, and pine away in their punishment.
