2has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the 2worlds; 3bwho being the brightness of His glory and the express cimage of His person, and dupholding all things by the word of His power, ewhen He had 3by Himself 4purged 5our sins, fsat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4having become so much better than the angels, as gHe has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

The Son Exalted Above Angels

5For to which of the angels did He ever say:

h“You are My Son,

Today I have begotten You”?

And again:

i“I will be to Him a Father,

And He shall be to Me a Son”?

6But when He again brings jthe firstborn into the world, He says:

k“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

7And of the angels He says:

l“Who makes His angels spirits

And His ministers a flame of fire.”

8But to the Son He says:

m“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

A 6scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

9You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;

Therefore God, Your God, nhas anointed You

With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

10And:

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

And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

11pThey will perish, but You remain;

And qthey will all grow old like a garment;

12Like a cloak You will fold them up,

And they will be changed.

But You are the rsame,

And Your years will not fail.”

13But to which of the angels has He ever said:

s“Sit at My right hand,

Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?
