1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets ,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things , by whom also he made the worlds ; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory , and the express image of his person , and upholding all things by the word of his power , when he had by himself purged our sins , sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high ;
4 Being made so much better than the angels , as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they . 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time , Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee ?again , I will be to him a Father , and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again , when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world , he saith , And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith , Who maketh his angels spirits , and his ministers a flame of fire .
8 But unto the Son he saith , Thy throne , O God, is for ever and ever : a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom .
9 Thou hast loved righteousness , and hated iniquity ;therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows . 10 And, Thou , Lord , in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth ;heavens are the works of thine hands :
11 They shall perish ;thou remainest ;they all shall wax old as doth a garment ; 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed : but thou art the same , and thy years shall not fail .
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time , Sit on my right hand , until I make thine enemies thy footstool ?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits , sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation ?
