And as I was still reciting the song, the mouth of the fire which was on the 20.
2
And while I was still reciting the song, the mouth of the fire which was on the surface rose up on high.
3
And I heard a voice like the roaring of the sea, nor did it cease on account of the rich abundance of the fire.
4
And as the fire raised itself up, ascending into the heights, I saw under the fire a throne of fire, and round about it the watchfulness of many eyes, even the all-seeing ones reciting their song, and under the throne four fiery Living Ones singing, and their appearance was one, and each one had four faces.
5
And such was the appearance of their countenance, that each one had the face of a lion, a man, an ox and an eagle, and because of their four heads upon their bodies, they had sixteen faces, and each one had three pairs of wings, from their shoulders, from their sides, and from their loins.
