Ecclesiastes 3:19 - Hebrew Names version (HNV) For 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.

Tuilleadh leaganachaKing James Version (Oxford) 1769 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. Amplified Bible - Classic Edition For that which befalls the sons of men befalls beasts; even [in the end] one thing befalls them both. As the one dies, so dies the other.

Humans are no better off than animals because everything is pointless. Catholic Public Domain Version For this reason, the passing away of man and of beasts is one, and the condition of both is equal. For as a man dies, so also do they die.

A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.
The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walks in darkness--and yet I perceived that one event happens to them all.

It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men, and the living should take this to heart.
For man also doesn't know his time. As the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly on them.
All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn't sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hasn't sent me.
