The Son Is Superior to Angels

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“Yoʋ are my Son;

today I have begotten yoʋ”?

Or again,

“I will be his Father,

and he will be my Son”?

6 And again, when he brings his firstborn into the world, he says,

“Let all the angels of God worship him.”

7 Of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels winds,

and his servants a flame of fire,”

8 but of the Son he says,

“Yoʋr throne, O God, endures forever and ever;

the scepter [fn]of [fn]yoʋr kingdom is a scepter of uprightness.

9 Yoʋ have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

therefore God, yoʋr God, has anointed yoʋ

with the oil of gladness beyond yoʋr companions.”

10 And,

“In the beginning yoʋ, O Lord, laid the foundation of the earth,

and the heavens are the works of yoʋr hands.

11 They will perish, but yoʋ remain;

they will all wear out like a garment.

12 Yoʋ will roll them up like a [fn]robe,

and they will be changed.

But yoʋ remain the same,

and yoʋr years will never come to an end.”

13 To which of the angels did God ever say,

“Sit at my right hand

until I make yoʋr enemies a footstool for yoʋr feet”?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who will inherit salvation?
