Ecclesiastes 3:18⥂
KJV:
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.
BSB:
I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
Hebrew:
