The Son superior to angels

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

‘You are my Son;
    today I have become your Father’[a]?

Or again,

‘I will be his Father,
    and he will be my Son’[b]?

And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,

‘Let all God’s angels worship him.’[c]

In speaking of the angels he says,

‘He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.’[d]
