← Ezekiel 1:10	Ezekiel 1:11 (KJV)	Ezekiel 1:12 →
As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.	Thus [were] their faces: and their wings [were] stretched upward; two [wings] of every one [were] joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.	And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; [and] they turned not when they went.
