hebrews 1:8 But of the Son [He says], "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom.

8. O God--the Greek has the article to mark emphasis (Ps 45:6, 7).
for ever . . . righteousness--Everlasting duration and righteousness go together (Ps 45:2; 89:14).
a sceptre of righteousness--literally, "a rod of rectitude," or "straightforwardness." The oldest manuscripts prefix "and" (compare Es 4:11).

hebrews 1:8 But of the Son [He says], "Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter is the scepter of His kingdom.
