\v 1 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in many ways.
|
|
\v 2 But in these recent days, he has spoken to us through a Son, whom he appointed to be the heir of all things. It is through him that he also made the universe,
|
|
\v 3 and he is the brightness of his glory, the very character of his essence. He even holds everything together by the word of his power. After he made a cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 4 He has become just as superior to the angels, as the name he has inherited is more excellent than their name.
|
|
\v 5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
|
|
\q "You are my son,
|
|
\q today I have become your father"?
|
|
\p And again,
|
|
\q "I will be a father to him,
|
|
\q and he will be a son to me"?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 6 Again, when God brought the firstborn into the world, he says, "All God's angels must worship him."
|
|
\v 7 About the angels he says,
|
|
\q "He who makes his angels spirits,
|
|
\q and his servants flames of fire."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 8 But about the Son he says,
|
|
\q "Your throne, God, is for ever and ever.
|
|
\q The scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of justice.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness.
|
|
\q Therefore God, your God, has anointed you
|
|
\q with the oil of joy more than your companions."
|
|
|

\s5

\q
|
|
\v 10 "In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth.
|
|
\q The heavens are the work of your hands.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 They will perish, but you will continue.
|
|
\q They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 You will roll them up like a cloak,
|
|
\q and they will be changed like a piece of clothing.
|
|
\q But you are the same,
|
|
\q and your years do not end."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 13 But to which of the angels has God said at any time,
|
|
\q "Sit at my right hand
|
|
\q until I make your enemies a stool for your feet"?
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 14 Are not all angels spirits sent out to minister and to care for those who will inherit salvation?
