For to what angel did God ever say, "You are my Son! I have today become your Father"? Or again, "I will become his Father, and he shall become my Son"?

But of the time when he is to bring his firstborn Son back to the world he says, "And let all God's angels bow before him."

In speaking of the angels he says, "He who changes his angels into winds, And his attendants into blazing fire!"

But of the Son he says, "God is your throne forever and ever! And a righteous scepter is the scepter of his kingdom!

But to what angel did he ever say, 'Sit at my right hand, Until I make your enemies a footstool for you"?

and say, "I will tell your name to my brothers, In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise";

'For this is the agreement that I will make with the house of Israel, In those later days,' says the Lord; 'I will put my laws into their minds, And write them on their hearts, And they will have me for their God, And I will have them for my people.

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

At first he says, "You never wished or cared for sacrifices or offerings, or burnt-offerings or sacrifices for sin"??ll of which the Law prescribes??9 and then he adds, "See, I have come to do your will!" He is taking away the old to put the new in its place.
