Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, sparkling like the gleam of polished bronze.
The appearance of the wheels and their craftsmanship was like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their appearance and craftsmanship was like a wheel within a wheel.
Over the heads of the living creatures the likeness of an expanse was spread out. It gleamed like awe-inspiring crystal,
From what seemed to be his waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around. From what seemed to be his waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around him.
“You will eat it as you would a barley cake and bake it over dried human excrement in their sight.”
“therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: See, I myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will execute judgments within you in the sight of the nations.
“Therefore, as I live” — this is the declaration of the Lord GOD — “I will withdraw and show you no pity, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your abhorrent acts and detestable practices. Yes, I will not spare you.
“I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of everyone who passes by.
“Then your survivors will remember me among the nations where they are taken captive, how I was crushed by their promiscuous hearts that turned away from me and by their eyes that lusted after their idols. They will loathe themselves because of the evil things they did, their detestable actions of every kind.
“I will not look on you with pity or spare you,
but I will punish you for your ways
and for your detestable practices within you.
Then you will know that I am the LORD.”
I will not look on you with pity or spare you.
I will punish you for your ways
and for your detestable practices within you.
Then you will know
that it is I, the LORD, who strikes.
I looked, and there was someone who looked like a man.[fn] From what seemed to be his waist down was fire, and from his waist up was something that looked bright, like the gleam of amber.
The LORD said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” I looked to the north, and there was this offensive statue north of the Altar Gate, at the entrance.
“Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not show pity or spare them. Though they call loudly in my hearing, I will not listen to them.”
He spoke to the others in my hearing: “Pass through the city after him and start killing; do not show pity or spare them!
“But as for me, I will not show pity or spare them. I will bring their conduct down on their own heads.”
The LORD spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, “Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with blazing coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” So he went in as I watched.
I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl.
Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, wings, and the wheels that the four of them had, were full of eyes all around.
The cherubim lifted their wings and ascended from the earth right before my eyes; the wheels were beside them as they went. The glory of the God of Israel was above them, and it stopped at the entrance to the eastern gate of the LORD’s house.
“Son of man, you are living among a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house.
“Now you, son of man, get your bags ready for exile and go into exile in their sight during the day. You will go into exile from your place to another place while they watch; perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house.
“During the day, bring out your bags like an exile’s bags while they look on. Then in the evening go out in their sight like those going into exile.
“And while they look on, lift the bags to your shoulder and take them out in the dark; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
So I did just as I was commanded. In the daytime I brought out my bags like an exile’s bags. In the evening I dug through the wall by hand; I took them out in the dark, carrying them on my shoulder in their sight.
“The prince who is among them will lift his bags to his shoulder in the dark and go out. They[fn] will dig through the wall to bring him out through it. He will cover his face so he cannot see the land with his eyes.
“No one cared enough about you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. But you were thrown out into the open field because you were despised on the day you were born.
“They will burn your houses and execute judgments against you in the sight of many women. I will stop you from being a prostitute, and you will never again pay fees for lovers.
“He does not eat at the mountain shrines[fn] or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her menstrual impurity.
“and when he oppresses the poor and needy, commits robbery, and does not return collateral, and when he looks to the idols, commits detestable acts,
“He does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor’s wife.
I also said to them, “Throw away, each of you, the abhorrent things that you prize,[fn] and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.”
“ ‘But they rebelled against me and were unwilling to listen to me. None of them threw away the abhorrent things that they prized,[fn] and they did not abandon the idols of Egypt. So I considered pouring out my wrath on them, exhausting my anger against them within the land of Egypt.
“But I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations they were living among, in whose sight I had made myself known to Israel by bringing them out of Egypt.
“But I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

“But you, son of man, groan! Groan bitterly with a broken heart[fn] right before their eyes.
“It will seem like false divination to those who have sworn an oath to the Babylonians,[fn] but it will draw attention to their guilt so that they will be captured.
“You[fn] will be profaned in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’ ”
“Her priests do violence to my instruction and profane my holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they do not explain the difference between the clean and the unclean. They close their eyes to my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
“At the sight of them[fn] she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
