For an event [is to] the sons of man, and an event [is to] the beasts, one [is] and an event for them: As the death of this one, so [is] the death of this one; and one breath [is] to all, and the advantage of the man over the beast [is] nothing—for all [is] vapor.

ÅB

for det går menneskenes barn som det går dyrene; den samme skjebne rammer dem; som den ene dør, så dør den andre, og en livsånde har de alle; mennesket har ikke noe fortrinn fremfor dyret; for alt er tomhet.

for det går menneskenes barn som det går dyrene; den samme skjebne rammer dem; som den ene dør, så dør den andre, og en livsånde har de alle; mennesket har ikke noget fortrin fremfor dyret; for alt er tomhet.
