The Son Exalted Above Angels

For to which of the angels did He ever say:

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

And again:

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

But when He again brings (C)the firstborn into the world, He says:

(D)“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says:

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

But to the Son He says:

(F)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A [a]scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, (G)has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

10 And:

(H)“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 (I)They will perish, but You remain;
And (J)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 (K)same,
And Your years will not fail.”
