Hebrews 1:11
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”
10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”
13 Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
