Ecclesiastes 3:19


Ecclesiastes 3:18 Ecclesiastes 3:19 (KJV) Ecclesiastes 3:20
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
