Ecclesiastes 3:18 · Berean Standard Bible
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.”
Context
16Pia nikaona kitu kingine tena chini ya jua:
Mahali pa kutolea hukumu,
uovu ulikuwepo,
mahali pa kupatia haki,
uovu ulikuwepo. 17Nikafikiri moyoni mwangu,
“Mungu atawaleta hukumuni
wote wawili wenye haki na waovu,
kwa maana kutakuwako na wakati kwa ajili ya kila jambo,
wakati kwa ajili ya kila tendo.” 18Pia nikafikiri, “Kuhusu wanadamu, Mungu huwajaribu ili wajione kwamba wao ni kama wanyama. 19Hatima ya mwanadamu ni kama ile ya wanyama; wote wana mwisho unaofanana: Jinsi anavyokufa mnyama, ndivyo anavyokufa mwanadamu. Wote wana pumzi inayofanana; mwanadamu hana cha zaidi kuliko mnyama. Kila kitu ni ubatili. 20Wote huenda mahali panapofanana; wote hutoka mavumbini, mavumbini wote hurudi.
