All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes. Qohelet observes injustice precisely where justice should exist and acknowledges that God will judge both the righteous and the wicked. He also considers human and animal mortality, emphasizing that both return to dust. The passage does not seek to reduce humanity to an animal, but to confront the observable reality of death. Faced with this uncertainty, he again recommends responsibly enjoying one’s work as a gift received during life.

Es fährt alles an einen Ort; es ist alles von Staub gemacht und wird wieder zu Staub.
Todo va a un lugar: todo es hecho del polvo, y todo se tornará en el mismo polvo.
Todos van al mismo lugar; todos vienen del polvo y todos vuelven al polvo.
Tout va dans un même lieu; tout a été fait de la poussière, et tout retourne à la poussière.
Tutti vanno in un medesimo luogo; tutti sono stati fatti di polvere, e tutti ritornano in polvere.
Todos vão para um lugar; todos foram feitos do pó, e todos voltarão ao pó.
都歸一處,都是出於塵土,也都歸於塵土。
