Context — From Dust to Dust
16Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness.
17I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.”
18I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.”
19For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile. 20All go to one place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.Cross References

Ecclesiastes 3:18 Summary
[This verse is saying that God allows people to experience life's difficulties so they may realize their own mortality and limitations, similar to how animals live and die. This helps people understand their place in the world and their dependence on God, as seen in Psalm 73:22. By acknowledging our weaknesses, we can turn to God for strength and guidance, as stated in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10. Ultimately, this verse reminds us that our lives are not our own, but are entrusted to us by God, as seen in Genesis 1:26-28.]
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the verse say that God tests men so that they may see they are but beasts?
This verse means that God allows people to experience life's difficulties and limitations so they may realize their own mortality and frailty, as stated in Ecclesiastes 3:18, similar to how Psalm 73:22 describes the psalmist's own realization of being like a beast before God.
Is the Bible saying that humans are no better than animals?
While Ecclesiastes 3:18-19 does say that men and beasts share the same fate, it's not saying they have the same value or purpose, as seen in Genesis 1:26-28 where God gives humans dominion over animals, and Psalm 8:5-8 where humans are crowned with glory and honor.
What is the purpose of God testing humanity in this way?
The purpose of God's testing is to help people understand their place in the world and their dependence on Him, as stated in Deuteronomy 8:2-3, where Moses reminds the Israelites that God humbled and tested them in the wilderness to know what was in their hearts.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the Bible's teachings on humanity?
This verse fits with the broader biblical theme of humanity's fallen nature and need for God's redemption, as seen in Romans 3:23 and Psalm 51:5, which describe humanity's sinfulness and need for God's forgiveness and salvation.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I have experienced God's testing in my own life, and how have I responded to it?
- In what ways do I tend to forget my own mortality and limitations, and how can I cultivate a healthier perspective on my place in the world?
- How does the fact that God tests humanity to show them their frailty affect my understanding of suffering and hardship in my life?
- What are some ways that I can use my experiences of weakness and limitation to point others to God's strength and redemption?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ecclesiastes 3:18
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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ecclesiastes 3:18
I said in my heart; and further I considered with myself. Concerning the estate of the sons of men; concerning their condition and deportment in this present world. That God might manifest them; God suffers these horrible disorders among men, expressed , that he might discover men to themselves, and by permitting these actions show what strange creatures they are, and what vile hearts they have, which men would not otherwise understand or believe. See ,14. That they themselves are beasts, Heb. that they are beasts to themselves; either, 1. One to another, devouring and destroying one another. Or, 2. In their own judgment, or themselves being judges; that although God made them men or reasonable creatures, yet they have made themselves beasts by their brutish practices; and that men, considered only with respect unto the present life, which is the only thing valued and regarded by most men, and the vanity whereof is the principal subject of this book, are as vain and miserable creatures as the beasts themselves, the great differences between men and beasts being such as respect the other life. For men seem here to be called beasts in both these respects, and the latter he prosecutes more largely in the following verses.
Trapp's Commentary on Ecclesiastes 3:18
Ecclesiastes 3:18 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.Ver. 18. That they might see that they themselves are beasts.] It is reckoned a great matter that wicked men are made "to know themselves to be but men," and no more. But God will make good men see and say with David, "So foolish was I and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee." Pulchre addidit, "apud te," saith Ambrose upon those words. Elegantly said the Psalmist, "Before thee," because, in respect of God, what is man but an unreasonable beast? He that is wisest among men, said Socrates, who himself was held the wisest of men, if he be compared to God, Simia videbitur, non sapiens, he will seem rather an ape than a wise man. David calls himself not a "beast" only, but "beasts," in the plural, behemoth, or at least a very great beast, not an ape, but an elephant. And this is that which God would have all good men see, hemmah lahem, as this text hath it, themselves to themselves, in their humble account of themselves, as holy Agur did. Ambr. in Ps. lxxxiii, Socrat. apud Platon. Eram apud te sicut bestiae. - Mercer.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ecclesiastes 3:18
Verse 18. That they might see that they themselves are beasts.] The author of Choheleth has given a correct view of this difficult verse, by a proper translation: "I said in my heart, reflecting on the state of the sons of men, O that God would enlighten them, and make them see that even they themselves are like beasts." These words are to be referred to those in authority who abused their power; particularly to the corrupt magistrates mentioned above.
Cambridge Bible on Ecclesiastes 3:18
18. I said in mine heart] The word “estate” expresses fairly the meaning of the Hebrew noun, which may be rendered “word,” “matter,” or “subject.” In the next clause for “that God might manifest them,” we may better read, that God might separate, sift, or try them, i.e. in modern phrase, He leaves the disorders of the world unredressed, as part of man’s probation. This comes into the heart of the seeker as a partial explanation of the disorders noted in Ecclesiastes 3:16. that they might see that they themselves are beasts] The pronoun in the original has, as in the English version, the strong emphasis of iteration, that they are beasts, they by themselves. The thought implied is that without a higher faith of some kind—whether in the Divine Righteousness or in Immortality, is not yet defined—Man stands, as having only an animal life, on the same level as other animals. In the words of an old English poet: “Unless above himself he canErect himself, how poor a thing is man!”
Whedon's Commentary on Ecclesiastes 3:18
18. The fact that this verse begins like the preceding indicates that it introduces an additional and independent thought. Yet or also might be inserted to make it plainer.
