1 Godine tridesete, meseca četvrtog, petog dana, kad bejah među robljem na reci Hevaru, otvoriše se nebesa, i videh utvare Božje. 2 Petog dana tog meseca, pete godine od kako se zarobi car Joahin, 3 dođe reč Gospodnja Jezekilju sinu Vuzijevom, svešteniku, u zemlji haldejskoj na reci Hevaru, i onde dođe ruka Gospodnja nada nj. 4 I videh, i gle, silan vetar dolažaše od severa, i velik oblak i oganj koji se razgorevaše, i oko njega svetlost, a isred ognja kao jaka svetlost; 5 isred njega još kao četiri životinje, koje na oči behu nalik na čoveka; 6 i u svake behu četiri lica, i četiri krila u svake; 7 i noge im behu prave, a u stopalu behu im noge kao u teleta; i sevahu kao uglađena bronza. 8 I ruke im behu čovečje pod krilima nad četiri strane, i lica im i krila behu na četiri strane. 9 Sastavljena im behu krila jedno s drugim; i ne okretahu se idući, nego svaka iđaše na prema se. 10 I lice beše u sve četiri lice čovečje i lice lavovo s desne strane, a s leve strane lice volujsko i lice orlovo u sve četiri. 11 I lica im i krila behu razdeljena ozgo; u svake se dva krila sastavljahu jedno s drugim, a dva pokrivahu im telo. 12 I svaka iđaše pravo na prema se; iđahu kuda duh iđaše, i ne okretahu se idući. 13 I na oči behu te životinje kao živo ugljevlje, gorahu na oči kao sveće; taj oganj prolažaše između životinja i svetljaše se, i iz ognja izlažaše munja. 14 I životinje trčahu i vraćahu se kao munja. 15 I kad gledah životinje, gle, točak jedan beše na zemlji uza svaku životinju prema četiri lica njihova. 16 Obličjem i napravom behu točkovi kao boje hrisolitove, i sva četiri behu jednaka, i obličjem i napravom behu kao da je jedan točak u drugom. 17 Kad iđahu, iđahu sva četiri svaki na svoju stranu, i idući ne skretahu. 18 I naplaci im behu visoki strahota; i behu naplaci puni očiju unaokolo u sva četiri. 19 I kad iđahu životinje, iđahu i točkovi uz njih; i kad se životinje podizahu od zemlje, podizahu se i točkovi. 20 Kuda duh iđaše, onamo iđahu, i podizahu se točkovi prema njima, jer duh životinjski beše u točkovima. 21 Kad one iđahu, iđahu i oni; i kad one stajahu, stajahu i oni; i kad se one podizahu od zemlje, podizahu se i točkovi prema njima, jer duh životinjski beše u točkovima. 22 A nad glavama životinjama beše kao nebo, po viđenju kao kristal, strašno, razastrto ozgo, nad glavama njihovim. 23 A pod tim nebom behu im krila pružena, jedno prema drugom, a dva krila svakoj pokrivahu telo. 24 I čuh huku krila njihovih kad iđahu kao da beše huka velike vode, kao glas Svemogućeg i kao graja u logoru; i kad stajahu, spuštahu krila. 25 I kad stavši spuštahu krila, čujaše se glas ozgo iz neba, koje beše nad glavama njihovim. 26 I ozgo na onom nebu što im beše nad glavama, beše kao presto, po viđenju kao kamen safir, i na prestolu beše po obličju kao čovek. 27 I videh kao jaku svetlost, i u njoj unutra kao oganj naokolo, od bedara gore, a od bedara dole videh kao oganj i svetlost oko njega. 28 Kao duga u oblaku kad je kiša, takva na oči beše svetlost unaokolo. To beše viđenje slave Božje na očima; i kad videh, padoh na lice svoje, i čuh glas Nekoga koji govoraše.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
He saw the likeness of the glory of the Lord; not the Lord Himself, but the likeness of His glory, not the glory itself, as it really is.
