Hebrews 1:8
Douay-Rheims
But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
O God--the Greek has the article to mark emphasis (Psa 45:6-7). for ever . . . righteousness--Everlasting duration and righteousness go together (Psa 45:2; Psa 89:14). a sceptre of righteousness--literally, "a rod of rectitude," or "straightforwardness." The oldest manuscripts prefix "and" (compare Est 4:11).
