And again, when God brings his firstborn(A) into the world,(B) he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[a](C)

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.”[b](D)

But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(E)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions(F)
    by anointing you with the oil(G) of joy.”[c](H)

10 He also says,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.(I)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.(J)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,(K)
    and your years will never end.”[d](L)
