God, who in ancient days spoke to our ancestors in the prophets, at many different times and by various methods,

has at the end of these days spoken to us in a Son whom he appointed heir of all things; through whom also he made the universe.

In the days of his flesh, with better cries and weeping Jesus offered up prayers and supplications to Him who was able to save him out of death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.

without father or mother, without lineage, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest in perpetuity.

But finding fault with them, He says. "There are days coming," says the Lord, "When I will establish with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant;

"For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel, After these days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their minds, And upon their hearts will I write them; And I will be their God, And they shall be my people;

"This is the covenant I will make with them After those days," says the Lord. "I will set my laws upon their hearts, And I will inscribe them on their minds."

But ever call to mind the former days, in which, after having been enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings;

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled seven days.

For they only disciplined us for a few days, as seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, that we may share his holiness.
