A MAN HATH NO PREEMINENCE ABOVE A BEAST

ECCLESIASTES 3:17-22

 

I SAID IN MINE HEART, 

GOD SHALL JUDGE 

THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED: 

FOR 

THERE IS A TIME 

THERE FOR EVERY PURPOSE 

AND FOR EVERY WORK.
I SAID IN MINE HEART 

CONCERNING THE ESTATE 

OF THE SONS OF MEN, 

THAT GOD MIGHT MANIFEST THEM, 

AND THAT THEY MIGHT 

SEE THAT THEY 

THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS. 

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. 

ALL GO UNTO ONE PLACE; 

ALL ARE OF THE DUST, 

AND ALL TURN TO DUST AGAIN.  

WHO KNOWETH THE SPIRIT 

OF MAN THAT GOETH UPWARD, 

AND THE SPIRIT OF THE BEAST 

THAT GOETH DOWNWARD 

TO THE EARTH? 

WHEREFORE I PERCEIVE 

THAT THERE IS NOTHING BETTER, 

THAN THAT A MAN SHOULD 

REJOICE IN HIS OWN WORKS; 

FOR THAT IS HIS PORTION: 

FOR WHO SHALL BRING HIM 

TO SEE WHAT SHALL BE AFTER HIM?
