Hebrews
Hebrews 1:10–12
10And:
“In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11They will perish, but You remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
12You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garmenth they will be changed;
but You remain the same,
and Your years will never end.”i
