Hebrews 2:5-8
New King James Version
The Son Made Lower than Angels(A)
5 For He has not put (B)the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels. 6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:
(C)“What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him?
7 You have made him [a]a little lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
[b]And set him over the works of Your hands.
8 (D)You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”
For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now (E)we do not yet see all things put under him.

Hebrews 2:5-8
American Standard Version
5 For not unto angels did he subject [a]the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one hath somewhere testified, saying,
[b]What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7 Thou madest him [c]a little lower than the angels;
Thou crownedst him with glory and honor,
[d]And didst set him over the works of thy hands:
8 Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet.
For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.

Jesus Made Fully Human
5 It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6 But there is a place where someone(A) has testified:
“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
a son of man that you care for him?(B)
7 You made them a little[a] lower than the angels;
you crowned them with glory and honor
8 and put everything under their feet.”[b][c](C)
In putting everything under them,[d] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[f]
