Ecclesiastes 3:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ I thought in my heart, “God will judge the just and the wicked. For there is a time for every purpose and for every work.”

¹⁸ I considered the state of the children of men in my heart, that God had examined them, so that they too see themselves as beasts.

¹⁹ For the condition of the children of men and the condition of beasts is the same, as the one dies so dies the other. For they all have one breath. And there is no excellency of man above beast. For all is vanity.
