English Standard Version
Hebrews 1:5-12
English Standard Version
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
(A)“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”?
Or again,
(B)“I will be to him a father,
and he shall be to me a son”?
6 And again, when he brings (C)the firstborn into the world, he says,
(D)“Let all God's angels worship him.”
7 Of the angels he says,
(E)“He makes his angels winds,
and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he says,
(F)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, (G)has anointed you
with (H)the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
10 And,
(I)“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are (J)the same,
and your years will have no end.”

The Son Superior to Angels
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
Or again,
6 And again, when God brings his firstborn(C) into the world,(D) he says,
7 In speaking of the angels he says,
8 But about the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(G)
a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions(H)
by anointing you with the oil(I) of joy.”[e](J)
10 He also says,
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.(K)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.(L)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,(M)
and your years will never end.”[f](N)
