1:5 For to which of the angels did God ³  ever say, “You are my son! Today I have fathered you”? ⁴  And in another place ⁵  he says, ⁶  “I will be his father and he will be my son.” ⁷  1:6 But when he again brings ⁸  his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him!” ⁹  1:7 And he says ¹⁰  of the angels, “He makes ¹¹  his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire,” ¹²  1:8 but of ¹³  the Son he says, ¹⁴ 

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, ¹⁵ 

and a righteous scepter ¹⁶  is the scepter of your kingdom.

1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness.

So God, your God, has anointed you over your companions ¹⁷  with the oil of rejoicing.” ¹⁸ 

1:10 And,

“You founded the earth in the beginning, Lord, ¹⁹ 

and the heavens are the works of your hands.

1:11 They will perish, but you continue.

And they will all grow old like a garment,

1:12 and like a robe you will fold them up

and like a garment ²⁰  they will be changed,

but you are the same and your years will never run out.” ²¹ 

1:13 But to which of the angels ²²  has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? ²³  1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to serve those ²⁴  who will inherit salvation?

2:1 The heavens and the earth ¹  were completed with everything that was in them. ²  2:2 By ³  the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, ⁴  and he ceased ⁵  on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing. 2:3 God blessed the seventh day and made it holy ⁶  because on it he ceased all the work that he ⁷  had been doing in creation. ⁸ 

2:4 This is the account ⁹  of the heavens and the earth ¹⁰  when they were created – when the Lord God ¹¹  made the earth and heavens. ¹²
