Ecclesiastes 3:20
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
All go to one place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.
In context
18 I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
19 For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile.
20 All go to one place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.
21 Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and the spirit of the animal descends into the earth?
22 I have seen that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will come after him?
