Ecclesiastes / Question
Question source
Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes observes that humans and animals share “one breath,” and that “as the one dieth, so dieth the other,” emphasizing a common mortality (Ecclesiastes 3:19). It also notes the shared end of returning to dust, stressing human limits before death (Ecclesiastes 3:20).
19For 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.
20All go to one place. All are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.
