Ecclesiastes 3:19

HCSB

Ecclesiastes 3:19

For the fate of people and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile.

Psalm 49:12

But despite his assets, man will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.

We will certainly die and be like water poured out on the ground, which can’t be recovered. But God would not take away a life; He would devise plans so that the one banished from Him does not remain banished.

Job 14:10-12

But a man dies and fades away;
he breathes his last—where is he?

Psalm 39:5-6

You, indeed, have made my days short in length,
and my life span as nothing in Your sight.
Yes, every mortal man is only a vapor.Selah

Psalm 49:20

A man with valuable possessions
but without understanding
is like the animals that perish.

Psalm 89:47-48

Remember how short my life is.
Have You created everyone for nothing?

Psalm 92:6-7

A stupid person does not know,
a fool does not understand this:

Psalm 104:29

When You hide Your face,
they are terrified;
when You take away their breath,
they die and return to the dust.

Ecclesiastes 2:14

The wise man has eyes in his head,
but the fool walks in darkness.

Yet I also knew that one fate comes to them both.

Ecclesiastes 2:16

For, just like the fool, there is no lasting remembrance of the wise man, since in the days to come both will be forgotten. How is it that the wise man dies just like the fool?

Ecclesiastes 2:20-23

So I began to give myself over to despair concerning all my work that I had labored at under the sun.
