Darby Bible Translation → New International Version

God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.

who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,

And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire;

In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”d

but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom.

But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”e

And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.

He also says, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
