Ezekiel 1:2-4
International Standard Version
The Vision of the Fire Cloud
2 On the fifth day[a] of the month in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s imprisonment in exile, 3 a message from[b] the Lord came directly to Buzi’s son Ezekiel,[c] the priest, by the Chebar River in the land of the Chaldeans.[d] The hand of the Lord rested upon him there.
4 I was amazed to see a wind storm blow[e] in from the north, consisting of[f] a massive cloud and fire that was flashing back and forth, surrounded by bright light. From deep within the cloud,[g] something was shining that appeared to have a color like bronze that had been placed in fire until it glowed.
