Ecclesiastes 3:19-21

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁹ The same thing happens to humans as happens to animals. We all breathe for a time and then we die. Humans are no different to animals. Life has no purpose. ²⁰ All living things finally go to the same place. We all come from the dust of the ground. And we all go back to the dust when we die.^{[a] 21} Do the spirits of humans go up into the sky when we die? Do the spirits of animals go down into the ground? Nobody really knows.’^[b]
