Angels In Men, Hebrews

Improved Essays
Men, Hebrews 1:13-14. The author of Hebrews asks; 'But to which of the angels has He (God) ever said, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a foot stool for your feet"?

In Psalms 137:2 I would suggest that not only were they not willing to sing for their captors because it was the Lord’s song but also that they were so sorrowful that didn’t have the heart use them.
