Ezekiel 1:10

⁸ Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four living creatures had faces and wings,

⁹ and their wings were touching one another. They did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.

The form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and also the face of an eagle.

¹¹ Such were their faces. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching the wings of the creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.

¹² Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they moved.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
