Each moved straight ahead<n id="1" /> &#8211; wherever the spirit<n id="2" /> would go, they would go, without turning as they went.

The appearance of the wheels and their construction<n id="1" /> was like gleaming jasper,<n id="2" /> and all four wheels looked alike. Their structure was like a wheel within a wheel.<n id="3" />

Wherever the spirit<n id="1" /> would go, they would go,<n id="2" /> and the wheels would rise up beside them because the spirit<n id="3" /> of the living being was in the wheel.

And as for them,<n id="1" /> whether they listen<n id="2" /> or not &#8211; for they are a rebellious<n id="3" /> house<n id="4" /> &#8211; they will know that a prophet has been among them.

<t /><p class="bodytext">The hand<n id="1" /> of the <sc>Lordsc> rested on me there, and he said to me, &#8220;Get up, go out to the valley,<n id="2" /> and I will speak with you there.&#8221;

I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to reprove<n id="1" /> them, for they are a rebellious house.

You will be<n id="1" /> an object of scorn and taunting,<n id="2" /> a prime example of destruction<n id="3" /> among the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger and raging fury.<n id="4" /> I, the <sc>Lord,sc> have spoken!

My eye will not pity you; I will not spare<n id="1" /> you.<n id="2" /> For I will hold you responsible for your behavior,<n id="3" /> and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices.<n id="4" /> Then you will know that I am the <sc>Lordsc>!p>

My eye will not pity you; I will not spare<n id="1" /> you. For your behavior I will hold you accountable,<n id="2" /> and you will suffer the consequences of your abominable practices. Then you will know that it is I, the <sc>Lord,sc> who is striking you.<n id="3" />p>

Disaster after disaster will come, and one rumor after another. They will seek a vision from a prophet; priestly instruction will disappear, along with counsel from the elders.

<p class="bodytext">When the <sc>Lordsc><n id="1" /> commanded the man dressed in linen, &#8220;Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,&#8221; the man<n id="2" /> went in and stood by one of the wheels.<n id="3" />

Tell the ones who coat it with whitewash that it will fall. When there is a deluge of rain, hailstones<n id="1" /> will fall and a violent wind will break out.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;Therefore this is what the sovereign <sc>Lordsc> says: In my rage I will make a violent wind break out. In my anger there will be a deluge of rain and hailstones in destructive fury.

I will tear off your headbands and rescue my people from your power;<n id="1" /> they will no longer be prey in your hands. Then you will know that I am the <sc>Lordsc>.

Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel,<n id="1" /> and Job, were in it, they would save only their own lives by their righteousness, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;&#8216;But you trusted in your beauty and capitalized on your fame by becoming a prostitute. You offered your sexual favors to every man who passed by so that your beauty<n id="1" /> became his.

As for my food that I gave you &#8211; the fine flour, olive oil, and honey I fed you &#8211; you placed it before them as a soothing aroma. That is exactly what happened, declares the sovereign <sc>Lordsc>.p>
