9 Will you then say, “I am a god,”

in the presence of those who kill you?

You will be but a mortal, not a god,

in the hands of those who slay you.

9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’

in the presence of those who kill you,

though you are but a man, and no god,

in the hands of those who slay you?

9 Will you then boast, ‘I am a god!’

to those who kill you?

To them you will be no god

but merely a man!

9 “Will you still say before him who slays you,

‘I am a god’?

But you shall be a man, and not a god,

In the hand of him who slays you.

9 While they are killing you,

you will not be able to say anymore, “I am a god.”

You will be only a human, not a god,

when your murderers kill you.

9 Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou art man, and not God, in the hand of him that woundeth thee.

9 Wilt thou then say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and not •God, in the hand of him that pierceth thee.

9 You will no longer say that you are a god 

when you face those who kill you. 

You will be a human, not a god, in the hands of those who kill you. 

9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’

in the presence of those who kill you?

Yet you will be only a man, not a god,

in the hands of those who kill you.

9 Will you still say, “I am a god,”

in the presence of those who kill you,

though you are but a mortal, and no god,

in the hands of those who wound you?

9 Will you indeed still say “I am a god!”

before the face of your killers?

And in fact you are a human and not a god

in the hand of those who pierce you.

9 Then will you say, ‘I am a god’?

Will you say that to those who kill you?

You will be only a man to those who kill you.

You will not be a god to them.

9 ‘Will you still say, “I am a god,”

In the presence of your slayer,

Though you are a man and not God,

In the hands of those who wound you?
