New Living Translation (NLT)

Lamentations 5
²² Or have you utterly rejected us? Are you angry with us still?
Ezekiel 1
¹ On July 31 of my thirtieth year, while I was with the Judean exiles beside the Kebar River in Babylon, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
² This happened during the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity.
³ (The LORD gave this message to Ezekiel son of Buzi, a priest, beside the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians, and he felt the hand of the LORD take hold of him.)
⁴ As I looked, I saw a great storm coming from the north, driving before it a huge cloud that flashed with lightning and shone with brilliant light. There was fire inside the cloud, and in the middle of the fire glowed something like gleaming amber.
⁵ From the center of the cloud came four living beings that looked human,
⁶ except that each had four faces and four wings.
⁷ Their legs were straight, and their feet had hooves like those of a calf and shone like burnished bronze.
⁸ Under each of their four wings I could see human hands. So each of the four beings had four faces and four wings.
⁹ The wings of each living being touched the wings of the beings beside it. Each one moved straight forward in any direction without turning around.
¹⁰ Each had a human face in the front, the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and the face of an eagle at the back.
