God never said this to any of the angels:

“You are my Son.
    Today I have become your Father.” (A)

God also never said about an angel,

“I will be his Father,
    and he will be my son.” (B)

And then, when God presents his firstborn Son to the world,[a] he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[b]

This is what God said about the angels:

“He changes his angels into winds[c]
    and his servants into flaming fire.” (C)
