Verse 24
24. The noise of their wings If it had not been for the noise one could not have known the wings were being used for locomotion. They moved so swiftly and with such perfect regularity that they always appeared outstretched; as if the tips of each pair were joined together (Ezekiel 1:11).
The sound seemed to the hearer like the roar of the surf on the rocky shore of the Mediterranean; like the voice of Jehovah when the “God of glory thundereth” (Psalms 29:3); like a distant tumult (Jeremiah 11:16).
A voice is in the wind I do not know;
A meaning on the face of the high hills
Whose utterance I cannot comprehend;
A something is behind them; this is God.
