Ecclesiastes 3:20

God's Mysterious Plan Allows Injustice To Exist In The World

¹⁹ For it happeneth unto men as it doth unto beasts, and as the one dieth, so dieth the other. Yea, they have both one manner of breath, so that - in this - a man hath no preeminence above a beast, but all are subdued unto vanity. ²⁰ They go all unto one place, for as they be all of dust, so shall they all turn unto dust again. ²¹ Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the breath of the beast that goeth down into the earth?
