Hebrews

Hebrews 1:9–12

⁹You have loved righteousness

and hated wickedness;

therefore God, Your God, has anointed You

above Your companions with the oil of joy.”^g

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 garment^h they will be changed;

but You remain the same,

and Your years will never end.”ⁱ
