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 hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath 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, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high.
4. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5. For to which of the angels hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6. And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.
7. And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8. But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
