Ecclesiastes 3:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ The ·same thing happens to animals and to people [^Lfate of people and the fate of animals are the same/one fate]; they both have the same breath, so they both die. People ·are no better off than [have no advantage over] the animals, because everything is useless [1:2]. ²⁰ ·Both end up the same way [All go to the same place]; both came from dust and both will go back to dust. ²¹ Who ·can be sure [knows] that the human spirit goes up above and that the spirit of an animal goes down into the ground?
