That was why I was angry with that generation, And I said, 'Their minds are always wandering, And they have never found my paths.'

For we who have believed are admitted to that Rest, of which he said, "As I made oath in my anger, They shall never be admitted to my Rest!" And yet God's work was finished at the creation of the world,

So even Christ did not claim for himself the dignity of the high priesthood, but he was appointed to it by him who said to him, "You are my Son! I have today become your Father!"

and said, "I will certainly bless you richly, and greatly increase your numbers."

For he of whom all this was said was related to a tribe no member of which ever officiated at the altar.

For it is perfectly clear that our Lord sprang from the tribe of Judah, with reference to which Moses said nothing at all about priests.

for God took no oath in appointing the old priests, but he made oath to his appointment, when he said to him, "The Lord has sworn it and he will not change; You are a priest forever!"

That is why the Christ, when he was coming into the world, said, "You have not wished sacrifice or offering, but you have provided a body for me.

So I said, 'See, I have come! as the Book of the Law says of me, O God, to do your will!' "

For we know who it is that has said, "Vengeance belongs to me! I will pay back!" and in another place, "The Lord will be the judge of his people!"

and so awful was the sight that Moses said, "I am aghast and appalled!"

You must not be avaricious; you must be content with what you have, for God himself has said, "I will never let go of you or desert you!"
