Verse 19

For that which befalleth{H4745} the sons{H1121} of men{H120} befalleth{H4745} beasts{H929}; even one thing{H259} befalleth{H4745} them: as the one dieth{H4194}, so dieth{H4194} the other{H2088}; yea, they have all one{H259} breath{H7307}; so that a man{H120} hath no preeminence{H4195} above a beast{H929}: for all is vanity{H1892}.
