Bible verse
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”
Hebrews 1:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Hebrews 1.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
6 And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
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.
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.
11 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”?
