19 (A)For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same fate for each of them. As one dies so dies the other, and they all have the same breath. So there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is [a]vanity. 20 All go to the same place. All came from the (B)dust, and all return to the dust.

Ecclesiastes 9:2-3
Legacy Standard Bible
2 (A)It is the same for all. There is (B)one fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and for the unclean; for the man who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good man is, so is the sinner; as the swearer is, so is the one who [a]is afraid to swear. 3 This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is (C)one fate for all. Furthermore, (D)the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil, and (E)madness is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead.

Ecclesiastes 9:2-3
New International Version
2 All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad,[a] the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.
As it is with the good,
so with the sinful;
as it is with those who take oaths,
so with those who are afraid to take them.(A)
3 This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all.(B) The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live,(C) and afterward they join the dead.(D)
