²³ And the glory of the Lord went up from inside the town, and came to rest on the mountain on the east side of the town.

² Over him were the winged ones: every one had six wings; two for covering his face, two for covering his feed, and two for flight.

³ And one said in a loud voice to another, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of armies: all the earth is full of his glory.

³¹ For he is ever at the right hand of the poor, to take him out of the hands of those who go after his soul.

¹ <A Psalm. Of David.> The Lord said to my lord, Be seated at my right hand, till I put all those who are against you under your feet.

¹⁸ Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.

²⁷ And I saw it coloured like electrum, with the look of fire in it and round it, going up from what seemed to be the middle of his body; and going down from what seemed to be the middle of his body I saw what was like fire, and there was a bright light shining round him.

²⁸ Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.
