24 And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings. went^H3212 heard^H8085 noise^H6963 wings^H3671 noise^H6963 great^H7227 waters^H4325 voice^H6963 Almighty^H7706 voice^H6963 speech^H1999 noise^H6963 host^H4264 stood^H5975 down^H7503 wings^H3671

27 And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. saw^H7200 colour^H5869 amber^H2830 appearance^H4758 fire^H784 about^H5439 within^H1004 appearance^H4758 loins^H4975 upward^H4605 appearance^H4758 loins^H4975 downward^H4295 saw^H7200 appearance^H4758 fire^H784 brightness^H5051 about^H5439
