Hebrews 1:9
7 Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”
8 But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
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.
11 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
