Concerning them, God said,

I make My heavenly messengers like the winds,
    and My servants like a flame.[a]

But to the Son He said,

God, Your throne is eternal;
    You will rule Your kingdom with the scepter of justice.
You have loved what is right
    and hated what is evil;
That is why God, Your God, has anointed You
    with the oil of gladness and lifted You above Your companions.[b]

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.”[a](A)

But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(B)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions(C)
    by anointing you with the oil(D) of joy.”[b](E)
