Hebrews 2:16
For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring of Abraham.
Note or, seed
For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham.
