Which passage states, 'Ye are gods; and all of you are the children of the Most High, but ye shall die like men'?

• A. Psalms 82:6-7
• B. 2nd Esdras 3:5-7
• C. Proverbs 19:29
• D. Ecclesiastes 5:1

Answer: (B)

That line is found in Psalm 82:6-7. In that psalm, God judges the rulers who sit in judgment, calling them "gods" because of their authority, but reminding them they will die like other humans. The exact wording you quoted appears there, highlighting the tension between elevated status and mortal accountability. The other passages do not contain that quote and address different themes: 2 Esdras 3:5-7 deals with creation and divine matters, Proverbs 19:29 discusses folly and punishment, and Ecclesiastes 5:1 warns about approaching God with caution.
