28 You founded the earth … your years will never run out. In its original setting Ps 102:25–27 refers to the work of God in creation, but here in Hebrews 1:10–12 the writer employs it in reference to Christ, the Lord, making a strong argument for the essential deity of the Son.
29 The words “like a garment” (ὡς ἱμάτιον, hōs himation) are found in excellent and early (𝔓46 א A B D* 1739) though absent in a majority of witnesses (D1 Ψ 0243 0278 33 1881 𝔐 lat sy bo). Although it is possible that longer reading was produced by overzealous scribes who wanted to underscore the frailty of creation, it is much more likely that the shorter reading was produced by scribes who wanted to conform the wording to that of Ps 102:26 (101:27 ), which here lacks the second “like a garment.” Both external and internal considerations decidedly favor the longer reading, and point to the author of Hebrews as the one underscoring the difference between the Son and creation. The phrase like a garment here is not part of the original OT text (see note above); for this reason it has been printed in normal type.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

And,

“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,

and the heavens are the work of your hands;

they will perish, but you remain;

they will all wear out like a garment,

like a robe you will roll them up,

like a garment they will be changed.

But you are the same,

and your years will have no end.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

He also says,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,

and the heavens are the work of your hands.

They will perish, but you remain;

they will all wear out like a garment.

You will roll them up like a robe;

like a garment they will be changed.

But you remain the same,

and your years will never end.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

And:

In the beginning, Lord,

you established the earth,

and the heavens are the works of your hands;

they will perish, but you remain.

They will all wear out like clothing;

you will roll them up like a cloak,

and they will be changed like clothing.

But you are the same,

and your years will never end.

NLTNew Living Translation

He also says to the Son,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth

and made the heavens with your hands.

They will perish, but you remain forever.

They will wear out like old clothing.

You will fold them up like a cloak

and discard them like old clothing.

But you are always the same;

you will live forever.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And,

“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,

and the heavens are the works of your hands;

they will perish, but you continue,

and they will all become old like a garment,

and like a robe you will roll them up,

and like a garment they will be changed;

but you are the same, and your years will not run out.”

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 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.
