Odes 2:43 and Deut 32:43 in Swete
Says Swete's Odes 2:43 (vol. 3, p. 817) has the same eight lines as his Deut 32:43, with these differences: line 2 reads πάντες οἱ ἄγγελοι θεοῦ where Deut has υἱοὶ θεοῦ, and line 4 reads πάντες υἱοὶ θεοῦ where Deut has πάντες ἄγγελοι θεοῦ, so "angels" and "sons" change places. Line 5 has ἐκδικεῖται for ἐκδικᾶται, and line 7 adds δίκην after ἀνταποδώσει.
Says In the Odes Swete prints the text of A. The logged Deut apparatus gives A ἐκδικεῖται in line 5, and A adds πάντες after the first αὐτῷ of the verse, which is in line 1 (ἅμα αὐτῷ).
Implies So the Odes agrees with A's Deut text at ἐκδικεῖται but not in line 1, where it has no πάντες; elsewhere A's Deut text is not logged. The Odes puts "all the angels of God" in the "worship" line, as Heb 1:6 does.
