And it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

And I saw Him looking like the color of polished bronze, looking like fire all around within it. From the likeness of His loins even upward, and from the likeness of His loins even downward, I saw Him, looking like fire, and it had brightness all around.

As the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain looks, so the brightness all around looked. This was how the likeness of the glory of Jehovah looked. And I saw. And I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

Then I arose and went out into the plain; and, behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. And I fell on my face.

And, behold! The glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

And I went in and saw. And behold, every kind of creeping thing, and hateful beast, and all the idols of the house of Israel, were carved on the wall all around.

And the cherubs rose up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.

This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubs.

And the form of their faces, they are the faces that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances even theirs. They each went straight forward.

And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of Jehovah's house, which faces eastward. And behold, twenty-five men were at the opening of the gate; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

And when I passed by you and saw you squirming in your blood, I said to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I said to you in your blood, Live!

And they were haughty and did abominable things before Me, so I turned away as I saw fit.

And when she saw that she had waited and that her hope was lost, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion.

When I had brought them into the land for which I lifted up My hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered their sacrifices there. And there they offered their provoking gifts. There also they made their sweet aroma, and poured out their drink offerings there.

And her sister Oholibah saw, she was more corrupt in her lustfulness than she, and her fornications were greater than her sister's whoredom.

And I saw that she was defiled, one way was to both of them.

And she added to her fornications. And she saw men carved on the wall; images of the Chaldeans engraved with vermilion,

I also saw the height of the house all around. The foundations of the side rooms were a full reed, six large cubits by joining.

And it looked the same as the vision which I saw, even according to the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar. And I fell on my face.
