Ecclesiastes 3:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

^19 (A)For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts ^[a]is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is ^[b]vanity. ²⁰ All go to the same place. All came from the ^(B)dust and all return to the dust. ²¹ Who knows that the ^(C)breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?
