Hebrews 1:6-8
Amplified Bible
6 [a]And when He again brings the firstborn [highest-ranking Son] into the world, He says,
“And all the angels of God are to worship Him.”(A)
7 And concerning the angels He says,
“Who makes His angels winds,
And His ministering servants flames of fire [to do His bidding].”(B)
8 But about the Son [the Father says to Him],
“Your throne, [b]O God, is forever and ever,
And the [c]scepter of [absolute] righteousness is the scepter of [d]His kingdom.
