Hebrews 1:7-9
Contemporary English Version

7 (A) And when God speaks about the angels, he says,

“I change my angels into wind
and my servants
    into flaming fire.”

8 (B) But God says about his Son,

“You are God,
and you will rule
    as King forever!
Your[a] royal power
    brings about justice.
9 You loved justice
    and hated evil,
and so I, your God,
    have chosen you.
I appointed you
and made you happier
    than any of your friends.”
