Ecclesiastes 3:19

Read Full Chapter

For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals: for all is vanity.

World English Bible (WEB)

For that which befalleth{H4745} the sons{H1121} of men{H120} befalleth{H4745} beasts{H929}; even one thing{H259} befalleth{H4745} them: as the one dieth{H4194}, so dieth{H4194} the other{H2088}; yea, they have all one{H259} breath{H7307}; so that a man{H120} hath no preeminence{H4195} above a beast{H929}: for all is vanity{H1892}.

The F.O.G Paraphrase

For an event is to the sons of man, and an event is to the beasts, even one event is to them; as the death of this, so is the death of that; and one spirit is to all, and the advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole is vanity.
