God’s Word Translation
Ecclesiastes 3:18-21
18I thought to myself, “God is going to test humans in order to show them that they are ⌞like⌟ animals.”
19Humans 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.
20All ⌞life⌟ goes to the same place. All ⌞life⌟ comes from the ground, and all of it goes back to the ground.
21Who knows whether a human spirit goes upward or whether an animal spirit goes downward to the earth?
