For to which of the angels did He ever say,
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”? And again,“I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?

And when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says,
“And let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says,
“Who makes His angels winds,
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
