Ecclesiastes 3:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷ So I told myself that God has set a time and a place for everything. He will judge everyone, both the wicked and the good. ¹⁸ I know God is testing us to show us that we are merely animals. ¹⁹ Like animals we breathe and die, and we are no better off than they are. It just doesn't make sense.
