Hebrews 1:2-13
Christian Standard Bible
2 In these last days,(A) he has spoken to us by his Son. God has appointed him heir of all things(B) and made the universe[a](C) through him. 3 The Son is the radiance[b] of God’s glory and the exact expression[c] of his nature,(D) sustaining all things by his powerful word.(E) After making purification for sins,[d] he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.[e](F) 4 So he became superior to the angels, just as the name he inherited is more excellent than theirs.(G)

and the heavens are the works of your hands;(N)
11 they will perish, but you remain.
They will all wear out like clothing;(O)
12 you will roll them up like a cloak,[q]
and they will be changed like clothing.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end.[r](P)
13 Now to which of the angels has he ever said:
