1 God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,
2 In these days has spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sits on the right hand of the majesty on high.
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 For to which of the angels has he said at any time, you are my Son, to day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he brings in the first begotten into the world, he said: And let all the angels of God adore him.
7 And to the angels indeed he said: He that makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But to the Son: your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of your kingdom.
9 You have loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
10 And: you in the beginning, O Lord, did found the earth: and the works of your hands are the heavens.
11 They shall perish, but you shall continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.
12 And as a vesture shall you change them, and they shall be changed: but you are the selfsame, and your years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
