18 I thought to myself, |God is going to test humans in order to show them that they are [like] animals.| 19 Humans and animals have the same destiny. One dies just like the other. All of them have the same breath [of life]. Humans have no advantage over animals. All [of life] is pointless. 20 All [life] goes to the same place. All [life] comes from the ground, and all of it goes back to the ground. 21 Who knows whether a human spirit goes upward or whether an animal spirit goes downward to the earth? 22 I saw that there's nothing better for people to do than to enjoy their work because that is their lot [in life]. Who will allow them to see what will happen after them? Ecclesiastes 3:18-22, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
