They'll pull their swords and make hash of your reputation for knowing it all. They'll puncture the balloon of your god-pretensions. ⁸ They'll bring you down from your self-made pedestal and bury you in the deep blue sea. ⁹ Will you protest to your assassins, "You can't do that! I'm a god"? To them you're a mere mortal. They're killing a man, not a god. ¹⁰ You'll die like a stray dog, killed by strangers -
