1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets, 2 in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages; 3 who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest, 4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them. 5 For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?” 6 And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”; 7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”; 8 but to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] scepter of Your kingdom; 9 You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”; 10 and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, || And the heavens are a work of Your hands. 11 These will perish, but You remain, || And all will become old as a garment, 12 And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, || But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.” 13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, || Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?” 14 Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
