Ezekiel 1:16

The Four Wheels

15When I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.16The 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.17As they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved.
