The Nature of the Son
1Long ago God spoke a to the fathers by the prophets b at different times and in different ways. c 2 In these last days, d He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe ▼▼Lit ages
,
f through Him. 3The Son is the radiance ▼▼Or reflection
of God’s glory and the exact expression ▼▼Or representation, or copy, or reproduction
of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, ▼▼Other mss read for our sins by Himself
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. ▼▼Or He sat down on high at the right hand of the Majesty
,
k 4So He became higher in rank than the angels, just as the name He inherited is superior to theirs. l The Son Superior to Angels
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father, ▼▼Or have begotten You
n or again, I will be His Father, and He will be My Son? o

p 6 When He again ▼▼Or And again, when He
brings His firstborn into the world, r He says, And all God’s angels must worship Him. s

and His servants ▼
▼Or ministers
a fiery flame, w

x 8 but to ▼
▼Or about
the Son:Your throne, God,is forever and ever,
and the scepter of Your kingdom
is a scepter of justice. z
9 You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
this is why God, Your God,
has anointed You
with the oil of joy aa
rather than Your companions. ▼
▼Or associates
ac 10 And:In the beginning, Lord,
You established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of Your hands; ad
11 they will perish, but You remain.
They will all wear out like clothing; ae
12 You will roll them up like a cloak, ▼
▼Other mss omit like a cloak
and they will be changed like a robe.
But You are the same,
and Your years will never end. ag , ah
13 Now to which of the angels has He ever said:Sit at My right hand
until I make Your enemies Your footstool ? ▼
▼Or enemies a footstool for Your feet
