[Cletus.D.Yokel]

5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”[a]

Verse 6 (quoted by Jesus in St. John) is a facetious challenge to the “gods” that men have fashioned for themselves (Gnosticism). These men and their gods will fall and die.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Oh, and Verse 7: ...nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”[a]...

shows who the author of Gnosticism is.
“...fall like any prince...”

Thanks Cletus. That was what I intended to point out, but I failed to actually say as much.
