Ecclesiastes 3:18-21

« Eccles 2Eccles 3Eccles 4 »

18 I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, “God is testing them in order for them to see that they are but ^abeasts.” 19 ^aFor the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same fate for each of them. As one dies so dies the other, and they all have the same breath. So there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is ¹vanity. 20 All go to the same place. All came from the ^adust, and all return to the dust. 21 Who knows that the ^abreath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?
