Psalms 82:7

82:7 Yet you will die like mortals;

you will fall like all the other rulers.”

Isaiah 31:3

31:3 The Egyptians are mere humans, not God;

their horses are made of flesh, not spirit.

The Lord will strike with his hand;

the one who helps will stumble

and the one being helped will fall.

Together they will perish.


tn Heb “men.” The point in the context is mortality, however, not maleness.

tn Heb “like one of the rulers.” The comparison does not necessarily imply that they are not rulers. The expression “like one of” can sometimes mean “as one of” (Gen 49:16; Obad 11) or “as any other of” (Judg 16:7, 11).

tn Heb “will extend”; KJV, ASV, NASB, NCV “stretch out.”

tn Heb “together all of them will come to an end.”
