12 A flaming fire surrounded the walls, and its portals blazed with fire. (ENO) 13 And I entered into that house, and it was hot as fire and cold as ice: there were no delights of life therein: fear covered me, and trembling got hold upon me. (ENO) 14 And as I quaked and trembled, I fell upon my face. (ENO) 15 And I beheld a vision, And lo! there was a second house, greater than the former, and the entire portal stood open before me, and it was built of flames of fire. (ENO) 16 And in every respect it so excelled in splendour and magnificence and extent that I cannot describe to you its splendour and its extent. (ENO) 17 And its floor was of fire, and above it were lightnings and the path of the stars, and its ceiling also was flaming fire. (ENO) 18 And I looked and saw ⌈⌈therein⌉⌉ a lofty throne: its appearance was as crystal, and the wheels thereof as the shining sun, and there was the vision of cherubim. (ENO) 19 And from underneath the throne came streams of flaming fire so that I could not look thereon. (ENO) 20 And the Great Glory sat thereon, and His raiment shone more brightly than the sun and was whiter than any snow. (ENO) 21 None of the angels could enter and could behold His face by reason of the magnificence and glory and no flesh could behold Him. (ENO) 22 The flaming fire was round about Him, and a great fire stood before Him, and none around could draw nigh Him: ten thousand times ten thousand (stood) before Him, yet He needed no counsellor.
