Hebrews 1:5-14
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]For unto which of the Angels said he at any time, (A)Thou art my Son, [b]this day begat I thee? and again, I (B)will be his Father, and he shall be my Son:
6 And [c]again, when he bringeth in his first begotten Son into the world, he saith, (C)And let all the Angels of God worship him.
7 And of the Angels he saith, (D)He maketh the spirits his [d]messengers, and his ministers a flame [e]of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, (E)O God, thy [f]throne is forever [g]and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a [h]scepter of righteousness.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness and [i]hated iniquity. Wherefore God, even thy God, hath [j]anointed thee with the oil of gladness, above thy [k]fellows.
10 And, (F)Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast [l]established the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands.
11 They shall perish, but thou dost remain, and they all shall wax old as doth a garment,
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 Unto which also of the Angels said he at any time, (G)Sit at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all [m]ministering spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shall be heirs of salvation?
