15 Now as I looked at the living beings, behold, there was one (A)wheel on the earth beside the living beings, (a)for each of the four of them. 16 The (B)appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like (b)sparkling (C)beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if (c)one wheel were within another. 17 Whenever they (d)moved, they (e)moved in any of their four (f)directions without (D)turning as they (g)moved. 18 As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were (E)full of eyes round about. 19 (F)Whenever the living beings (h)moved, the wheels (i)moved with them. And whenever the living beings (G)rose from the earth, the wheels rose also. 20 (H)Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction(j). And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living (k)beings was in the wheels. 21 (I)Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living (l)beings was in the wheels.
