Ezekiel 10:1-3
Easy-to-Read Version
The Glory of the Lord Leaves the Temple
10 Then I looked up at the bowl[a] over the heads of the Cherub angels. The bowl looked clear blue like sapphire, and there was something that looked like a throne over it. 2 Then the one sitting on the throne said to the man dressed in linen clothes,[b] “Step into the area between the wheels[c] under the Cherub angels. Take a handful of the burning coals from between the Cherub angels and go throw them over the city of Jerusalem.”
The man walked past me. 3 The Cherub angels were standing in the area south[d] of the Temple as the man walked to them. The cloud filled the inner courtyard.
