1After God <2316> spoke <2980> long ago <3819> in various portions <4181> and <2532> in various ways <4187> to our ancestors <3962> through <1722> the prophets <4396>,
2in these last days he has spoken to us in a son, whom <3739> he appointed <5087> heir <2818> of all things <3956>, and through <1223> whom <3739> he created <4160> the world <165>.
3The Son <3739> is <1510> the radiance <541> of his glory <1391> and <2532> the representation <5481> of his <846> essence <5287>, and <5037> he sustains <5342> all things <3956> by his <846> powerful <1411> word <4487>, and so when <4160> he had accomplished <4160> cleansing <2512> for sins <266>, he sat down <2523> at <1722> the right hand <1188> of the Majesty <3172> on <1722> high <5308>.
4Thus he became <1096> so far <5118> better than <2909> the angels <32> as <3745> he has inherited <2816> a name <3686> superior <1313> to <3844> theirs <846>.
5For <1063> to which of the angels <32> did God ever <4218> say <2036>, “You <4771> are <1510> my <3450> son <5207>! Today <4594> I <1473> have fathered <1080> you <4571>”? And <2532> in another <3825> place he says, “I <1473> will be <1510> his <846> father <3962> and <2532> he <846> will be <1510> my <3427> son <5207>.”
6But <1161> when <3752> he again <3825> brings <1521> his firstborn <4416> into <1519> the world <3625>, he says <3004>, “Let <4352> all <3956> the angels <32> of God <2316> worship <4352> him <846>!”
7And <2532> he says <3004> of the angels <32>, “He makes <4160> his <846> angels <32> spirits <4151> and <2532> his <846> ministers <3011> a flame <5395> of fire <4442>,”
8but <1161> of the Son <5207> he says, “Your <4675> throne <2362>, O God <2316>, is forever <165> and ever <165>, and <2532> a righteous <2118> scepter <4464> is the scepter <4464> of your kingdom <932>.
9You have loved <25> righteousness <1343> and <2532> hated <3404> lawlessness <458>. So <1223> <5124> God <2316>, your <4675> God <2316>, has anointed <5548> you <4571> over <3844> your <4675> companions <3353> with the oil <1637> of rejoicing <20>.”
10And <2532>, “You <4771> founded <2311> the earth <1093> in <2596> the beginning <746>, Lord <2962>, and <2532> the heavens <3772> are <1510> the works <2041> of your <4675> hands <5495>.
11They <846> will perish <622>, but <1161> you <4771> continue <1265>. And <2532> they will <3822> all <3956> grow old <3822> like <5613> a garment <2440>,
12and <2532> like <5616> a robe <4018> you will fold <1667> them <846> up <1667> and <2532> like <5613> a garment <2440> they will be changed <236>, but <1161> you <4771> are <1510> the same <846> and <2532> your <4675> years <2094> will <1587> never <3756> run out <1587>.”
13But <1161> to <4314> which <5101> of the angels <32> has he <2046> ever <4218> said <2046>, “Sit <2521> at <1537> my <3450> right hand <1188> until <2193> I make <5087> your <4675> enemies <2190> a footstool <5286> for your <4675> feet <4228>”?
14Are they <1510> not <3780> all <3956> ministering <3010> spirits <4151>, sent out <649> to <1519> serve <1248> those who will <3195> inherit <2816> salvation <4991>?
