Ecclesiastes 3:19-21

New International Version

¹⁹ Surely the fate of human beings^(A) is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath^[a]; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. ²⁰ All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.^{(B) 21} Who knows if the human spirit rises upward^(C) and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”
