²⁷ And I will make him the first of my sons, most high over the kings of the earth.

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.

¹⁵ Who is the image of the unseen God coming into existence before all living things;

¹⁶ And on his robe and on his leg is a name, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

²⁹ Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

⁷ I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

¹¹ Yes, let all kings go down before him; let all nations be his servants.

⁷ Peoples will be in fear before his strength, his arm will be on great nations: his king will be higher than Agag, and his kingdom made great in honour.

⁷ The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.

¹⁰ So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.

¹¹ Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

¹² For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.

²² And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:

²⁴ And the nations will go in its light: and the kings of the earth will take their glory into it.

²³ And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.

²⁴ And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.

¹² Wisdom and knowledge are given to you; and I will give you wealth and honour, such as no king has had before you or ever will have after you.
