Hebrews 1:8

O God—the Greek has the article to mark emphasis (Psalms 45:6-7).

for ever . . . righteousness—Everlasting duration and righteousness go together (Psalms 45:2; Psalms 89:14).

a sceptre of righteousness—literally, "a rod of rectitude," or "straightforwardness." The oldest manuscripts prefix "and" (compare Esther 4:11).
