For to what angel did God ever say, 'Thou art my son, to-day have I become thy father'? Or again, 'I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me'?

he says of the Son, 'God is thy throne for ever and ever, thy royal sceptre is the sceptre of equity:

thou hast loved justice and hated lawlessness, therefore God, thy God, has consecrated thee with the oil of rejoicing beyond thy comrades' ??10 and, 'Thou didst found the earth at the beginning, O Lord, and the heavens are the work at thy hands;

thou wilt roll them up like a mantle and they win be changed, but thou art the same, and thy years will never fail.'

saying, 'I will proclaim thy name to my brothers, in the midst of the church I will sing of thee,'

Similarly Christ was not raised to the glory of the high priesthood by himself but by Him who declared to him, Thou art my son, to-day have I become thy father.

So I said, 'Here I come ??in the roll of the book this is written of me ??I come to do thy will, O God.'

he then adds, Here I come to do thy will. He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
