7. Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols. They will be so; shame will cover their faces; they will blush to think
of their former besotted boastings. Worship him, all ye gods. Bow down
yourselves, you fancied gods. If the false gods are thus bidden to worship the
coming Lord, how much more will they adore him who are godlike creatures in
heaven, that is, the angelic spirits? Paul quotes this passage as the voice of
God to angels when he sent his Son into the world. All powers are bound to
recognize the chief power; since they derive their only rightful authority from
the Lord, they should be careful to acknowledge his superiority at all times by
the most reverent adoration.
