NASB
"Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?"
— Ecclesiastes 3:21, NASB
“Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?”
“Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth? ”
“Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, whether it goes downward to the earth?"”
“Who really knows if the human spirit ascends upward, and the animal’s spirit descends into the earth?”
“Who knoweth if the spirit of the children of Adam ascend upward, and if the spirit of the beasts descend downward?”
“Who is certain that the spirit of the sons of men goes up to heaven, or that the spirit of the beasts goes down to the earth?”
“Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?”
I said to myself concerning the sons of men, "God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts."
For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.
All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust.
Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?
I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?
