| 1 | ¶ God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets, | |
| 2 | at the end of these days has spoken to us in {the person of the} Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; | |
| 3 | who being {the} effulgence of his glory and {the} expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made {by himself} the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high, | |
| 4 | ¶ taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they. | |
| 5 | For to which of the angels said he ever, *Thou* art my Son: this day have *I* begotten thee? and again, *I* will be to him for father, and *he* shall be to me for son? | |
| 6 | and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God?s angels worship him. | |
| 7 | And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire; | |
| 8 | but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, {is} to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness {is} the sceptre of thy kingdom. | |
| 9 | Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions. | |
| 10 | And, *Thou* in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens. | |
| 11 | They shall perish, but *thou* continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment, | |
| 12 | and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but *thou* art the Same, and thy years shall not fail. | |
| 13 | But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies {as} footstool of thy feet? | |
| 14 | Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation? | |
