Does God let ministers go up in flames? Better Bibles Blog

One of my favorite blogs is the Better Bibles Blog at www.betterbibles.com. Today's article was fortuitously timely considering the fact that Spring Warrior is currently studying Hebrews. The article is entitled: "Does God let ministers go up in flames?," and it is about the passage is Hebrews 1:7, which is translated variously as follows:

KJV: Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
RSV: Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire.
NIV: He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire.
TEV: God makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire.
NLT: messengers swift as the wind, and servants made of flaming fire.
CEV: I change my angels into wind and my servants into flaming fire.
—————-
NJB: appointing the winds his messengers and flames of fire his servants.
