|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.
|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.
|I realized that to wealth of the sons of men, that God might give it to them, so that they might see that they are just another of God's animals.
|I realized that where the material trappings of men were concerned, that God might expose them for what they are, so man would realize that when they are taken away they are as the other animals of His creation.
|I changed beasts to God's animals because beast has picked up a connotation of brutishness since the time of the KJV. I didn't want to just say animal because that might give the wrong impression, I also figured I could get away with adding an extra "God" to the CBP.
|I revised this, because it seems like the original point is that God occasionally needs to humble us, so we see our proper place as one of His living creations.

|For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
|For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
|For the sons of men will meet the same fate as all of God's animal, even one thing happens to them, as one dies so does the other. They all breath, Man has no prestige over the rest of God's animals. All is vanity.
|For that which happens to man happens to all His living creations; the same fate falls to them: as one dies, so does the other; yes, they all carry the breath of life; in that a man is no different that any of the animals created by God. For all is vanity.
|I took preeminence to mean prestige because God gave man dominion over the animals in Genesis.
