Hebrews 1:10
8 But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”
And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
