New International Version (NIV)

9Will 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 one who kills you,

Though you are a mortal and not God,

In the hands of those who wound you?

9Will 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?

9‘Will you still say, “I am a god,”

In the presence of him who kills you?

But you are [only] a man [made of earth] and not God,

In the hands of those who wound and profane you.

9Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’

in the presence of those who slay you?

You will be only a man, not a god,

in the hands of those who wound you.

9Then will you say, ‘I am a god’?

Will you say that to those who kill you?

You will be only a human being to those who kill you.

You will not be a god to them.
