Ecclesiastes 3:19-22

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁹ For the fate of the children of Adam and the fate of animals is the same.^(A) As one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile. ²⁰ All are going to the same place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.^{(B) 21} Who knows if the spirits of the children of Adam go upwards and the spirits of animals go downwards to the earth? ²² I have seen that there is nothing better than for a person to enjoy his activities^(C) because that is his reward. For who can enable him to see what will happen after he dies?^[a](D)
