1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. 3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time,

"You are my Son.

Today I have become your father?"

and again,

"I will be to him a Father,

and he will be to me a Son?"

6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him." 7 Of the angels he says,

"He makes his angels winds,

and his servants a flame of fire."

8 But of the Son he says,

"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.

The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity;

therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows."

10 And,

"You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.

The heavens are the works of your hands.

11 They will perish, but you continue.

They all will grow old like a garment does.

12 You will roll them up like a mantle,

and they will be changed;

but you are the same.

Your years won’t fail."

13 But which of the angels has he told at any time,

"Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"

14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

1 God, having spoken many times and in many ways in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 has in these last times spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the ages;

3 who being the brightness of his glory and the [express] image of his substance 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 has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

5 For unto which of the angels did he say at any time, Thou art my Son, this day I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

6 And again, when he brought in the firstbegotten into the world, he said, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7 And of the angels he said, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.

8 But unto the Son [he said], Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: a rod of equity [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom.

9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore, God, [even] thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 And Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

11 they shall perish; but thou dost remain; and 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 never fail.

13 But to which of the angels did he say at any time, Sit on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth in service for the love of those who are the heirs of saving health?:
