10 And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.

11 They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.

12 And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?

Therefore ought we more diligently to observe the things which we have heard, lest perhaps we should let them slip.

For if the word, spoken by angels, became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward:

How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? which having begun to be declared by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.

10 He also says,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.(A)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.(B)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,(C)
    and your years will never end.”[a](D)

13 To which of the angels did God ever say,

“Sit at my right hand(E)
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool(F) for your feet”[b]?(G)

14 Are not all angels ministering spirits(H) sent to serve those who will inherit(I) salvation?(J)

Warning to Pay Attention

We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.(K) For since the message spoken(L) through angels(M) was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,(N) how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?(O) This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord,(P) was confirmed to us by those who heard him.(Q)
