Ecclesiastes 3:19

Compare all

17 I said in my heart,
^a“God shall judge the righteous and the wicked,
For there is a time there for every¹ purpose and for every work.”

18 I said in my heart, “Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.”

19 ^aFor what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.

20 All go to one place: ^aall are from the dust, and all return to dust.

21 ^aWho¹ knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?
