Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 8 of Ezekiel. Ezekiel receives a vision in which he is taken to Jerusalem and sees idolatry within the temple. Divine glory is connected with the denunciation of practices that profane the sanctuary. The scene establishes that judgment on Jerusalem is not arbitrary: God’s own house has become a setting for abominations.

Und siehe, ich sah, daß es von seinen Lenden herunterwärts war gleichwie Feuer; aber oben über seinen Lenden war es lichthell;
Y miré, y he aquí una semejanza que parecía de fuego: desde donde parecían sus lomos para abajo, fuego; y desde sus lomos arriba parecía como resplandor, como la vista de ámbar.
Miré y vi una figura con apariencia de fuego. Desde lo que parecían sus lomos hacia abajo era fuego, y desde sus lomos hacia arriba tenía aspecto de resplandor, como metal reluciente.
Je regardai, et voici, c'était une figure ayant l'aspect d'un homme; depuis ses reins en bas, c'était du feu, et depuis ses reins en haut, c'était quelque chose d'éclatant, comme de l'airain poli.
Ed io riguardai, ed ecco la sembianza d’un uomo simile in vista al fuoco; dall’apparenza de’ lombi di esso in giù, vi era fuoco; e da’ lombi in su, vi era come l’apparenza d’un grande splendore, simile al colore di fin rame scintillante.
E olhei, e eis uma semelhança como o aspecto de fogo; desde o aspecto dos seus lombos, e daí para baixo, era fogo; e dos seus lombos e daí para cima como o aspecto de um resplendor como a cor de âmbar.
我觀看,看哪,有形像彷彿火 的形狀,從他腰部以下形狀是火,從他腰部以上有光輝的形狀,好像閃耀的金屬。
