Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best Bible verse about angels?
Genesis 28:12 is the one most readers land on: "And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it." Psalms 34:7 is the usual second: "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." The full list of fifteen is on this page — there is no single required verse, and different seasons call for different texts.
Where do these verses come from, and are they reliable?
Every verse on this site is rendered from public-domain source texts — the King James Version (1611) and the World English Bible — stored on this site and verified verse-by-verse when the data was built. Nothing is paraphrased or hand-typed. The references are exact, and both translations can be compared on every card.
Where in the Bible does it talk about angels?
The verses on this page come from 8 books of the Bible — most notably Genesis, Psalms, Isaiah and 5 more — spanning both Old and New Testaments. The distribution itself is worth noticing: Scripture addresses angels in more than one voice, which is why the page shows whole verses rather than a single proof text.
How do I use a list of verses about angels?
Read the list once slowly, then keep the one verse that fits your situation close — the copy button places it wherever you will actually see it. Every card can be switched to the World English Bible for modern wording, and the random verse tool at the top of the page can draw one verse from this theme at a time if the whole list is more than today needs.
