"The Son and Angels"

The Son Exalted Above Angels

⁵ For to which of the angels did He ever say:

 

“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?

 

And again:

 

“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?

 

⁶ But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:

“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

 

⁷ And of the angels He says:

 

“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”

 

⁸ But to the Son He says:

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

⁹ You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

 

¹⁰ And:

 

“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

¹¹ They will perish, but You remain;
And they will all grow old like a garment;

¹² Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not fail.”

 

¹³ But to which of the angels has He ever said:

“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

 

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
