Hebrews 7:20-22
World English Bible
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath 21 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him,
“The Lord swore and will not change his mind,
‘You are a priest forever,
according to the order of Melchizedek.’”
22 By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.

Thou art a priest for ever);
