Revelation 4:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]And before the throne there was a Sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne were four beasts, full of eyes before and behind.
7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying Eagle.
8 And the [b]four beasts had each one of them six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within, and they ceased not [c]day nor night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Which was, and which is, and which is to come.
