Ecclesiastes 3:18-19

NAS

NIV

18 I said to myself concerning the sons of men, "God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts."
18 I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals.
19 For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts 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 vanity.
19 Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath ; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless.
