Ecclesiastes 3:19-21

191For the fate of the sons of mankind and the fate of animals 2is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath, and there is no advantage for mankind over animals, for all is futility.

20All go to the same place. All came from the 3dust and all return to the dust.

21Who knows that the 4spirit of the sons of mankind ascends upward and the spirit of the animal descends downward to the earth?
