This is impossible, as God's divine attributes don't possess the ability to cognate. The 'us' refers to the Yahweh God himself, who is Father and Son (
Hebrews 1:8) and Holy Spirit (
Acts 5:3-4). The unfallen angels in heaven don't know evil and so the 'us' can't refer to them as they only know good.
