Hebrews 2:5 in context

The verses around it, from Hebrews 2.

1 We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,

3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

4 and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

5 For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

6 But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor

8 and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
