Ecclesiastes 3:17-19
International Standard Version
17 I told myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked, because there is a time set to judge[a] every event and every work.”
18 “As for human beings,” I told myself, “God puts them to the test, that they might see themselves as mere animals.” 19 For what happens to people also happens to animals—a single event happens to them: just as someone dies, so does the other. In fact, they all breathe the same way, so that a human being has no superiority over an animal. All of this is pointless.
