4. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5. For to which of the angels hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6. And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.
7. And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8. But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9. Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10. And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.
11. They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.
12. And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
13. But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
14. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
