“‘In the pride of your heart
    you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne^(B) of a god
    in the heart of the seas.”^(C)
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
    though you think you are as wise as a god.^(D)

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,^(A)
    in the hands of those who slay you.^(B)
