God’s Final Word in His Son

God, after He (A)spoke long ago to the fathers in (B)the prophets in many portions and (C)in many ways, [a](D)in these last days (E)has spoken to us [b]in (F)His Son, whom He appointed (G)heir of all things, (H)through whom also He made the [c](I)world. [d]And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact (J)representation of His nature, and [e](K)upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made (L)purification of sins, He (M)sat down at the right hand of the (N)Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent (O)name than they.

For to which of the angels did He ever say,

(P)You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?

And again,

(Q)I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?

And [f]when He again (R)brings the firstborn into [g](S)the world, He says,

(T)And let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says,

(U)Who makes His angels winds,
And His ministers a flame of fire.”

But of the Son He says,

(V)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the righteous scepter is the scepter of [h]His kingdom.
(W)You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
(X)Therefore God, Your God, has (Y)anointed You
With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”

10 And,

(Z)You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 (AA)They will perish, but You remain;
(AB)And they all will become old like a garment,
12 (AC)And like a mantle You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are (AD)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.”

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

(AE)Sit at My right hand,
(AF)Until I make Your enemies
A footstool for Your feet”?

14 Are they not all (AG)ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will (AH)inherit (AI)salvation?

Give Heed

For this reason we must pay much closer attention to [i]what we have heard, so that (AJ)we do not drift away from it. For if the word (AK)spoken through (AL)angels proved [j]unalterable, and (AM)every transgression and disobedience received a just [k](AN)penalty, (AO)how will we escape if we neglect so great a (AP)salvation? [l]After it was at the first (AQ)spoken through the Lord, it was (AR)confirmed to us by those who heard, God also testifying with them, both by (AS)signs and wonders and by (AT)various [m]miracles and by [n](AU)gifts of the Holy Spirit (AV)according to His own will.

Earth Subject to Man

For He did not subject to angels [o](AW)the world to come, concerning which we are speaking. But one has testified (AX)somewhere, saying,

(AY)What is man, that You remember him?
Or the son of man, that You are concerned about him?
(AZ)You have made him [p]for a little while lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
[q]And have appointed him over the works of Your hands;
(BA)You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”

For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now (BB)we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

Jesus Briefly Humbled

But we do see Him who was (BC)made [r]for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, (BD)because of the suffering of death (BE)crowned with glory and honor, so that (BF)by the grace of God He might (BG)taste death (BH)for everyone.

10 For (BI)it was fitting for Him, (BJ)for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to (BK)perfect the [s](BL)author of their salvation through sufferings. 11 For both He who (BM)sanctifies and those who (BN)are [t]sanctified are all (BO)from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them (BP)brethren, 12 saying,

(BQ)I will proclaim Your name to My brethren,
In the midst of the congregation I will sing Your praise.”

13 And again,

(BR)I will put My trust in Him.”

And again,

(BS)Behold, I and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 Therefore, since the children share in [u](BT)flesh and blood, (BU)He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that (BV)through death He might render powerless (BW)him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through (BX)fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16 For assuredly He does not [v]give help to angels, but He gives help to the [w]descendant of Abraham. 17 Therefore, He [x]had (BY)to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might (BZ)become a merciful and faithful (CA)high priest in (CB)things pertaining to God, to (CC)make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was (CD)tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

Israel’s Rebelliousness and the Lord’s Deliverances.

106 [a]Praise [b]the Lord!
Oh (A)give thanks to the Lord, for He (B)is good;
For (C)His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Who can speak of the (D)mighty deeds of the Lord,
Or can show forth all His praise?
How blessed are those who keep [c]justice,
[d]Who (E)practice righteousness at all times!

Remember me, O Lord, in Your (F)favor [e]toward Your people;
Visit me with Your salvation,
That I may see the (G)prosperity of Your chosen ones,
That I may (H)rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may (I)glory with Your [f]inheritance.

(J)We have sinned [g](K)like our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.
Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your [h]wonders;
They (L)did not remember [i]Your abundant kindnesses,
But (M)rebelled by the sea, at the [j]Red Sea.
Nevertheless He saved them (N)for the sake of His name,
That He might (O)make His power known.
Thus He (P)rebuked the [k]Red Sea and it (Q)dried up,
And He (R)led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
10 So He (S)saved them from the [l]hand of the one who hated them,
And (T)redeemed them from the [m]hand of the enemy.
11 (U)The waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left.
12 Then they (V)believed His words;
They (W)sang His praise.
