1 GOD, who in many parts and in many ways spoke of old to the fathers by the prophets,
2 in these last days spoke to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds;
3 who, being the brightness of his glory and the impress of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 having become so much superior to the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 For to whom of the angels said he ever: Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee; and again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son.
6 But when he has again brought in the first-begotten into the world, he says And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he says: Who makes his angels winds, And his ministers a flame of fire;
8 but of the Son: Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever; A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom;
9 Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, anointed thee, With the oil of gladness, above thy fellows;
10 and: Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst found the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands;
11 They will perish, but thou remainest; And they all will become old, as does a garment,
12 And as a vesture thou wilt fold them up, and they will be changed; But thou art the same, And thy years will not fail.
13 But to whom of the angels has he ever said: Sit on my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth for ministration, for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
