Ecclesiastes 3:16-22
16And moreover I sawH7200 under the sunH8121, that in the placeH4725 of judgmentH4941, wickednessH7562 was there; and in the placeH4725 of righteousnessH6664, wickednessH7562 was there. 17I saidH559 in my heartH3820, 1GodH430 will judgeH8199 the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563; for there is a timeH6256 there for every purpose and for every workH4639. 18I saidH559 in my heartH3820, It is thus with the children of menH120, that 2GodH430 may prove them, and that they should seeH7200 that they themselves are but beasts. 19For what befalleth the children of menH120 befalleth beasts; even oneH259 thing befalleth them: as the oneH259 dieth, soH3651 dieth the other, and they have all oneH259 breathH7307; and manH120 hath no pre-eminence above the beast: for all is vanityH1892. 20All goH1980 unto oneH259 placeH4725: all areH1961 of the dustH6083, and all returnH7725 to dustH6083. 21Who knoweth the spiritH7307 of the children of menH120? Doth it goH5927 upwardsH4605? and the spiritH7307 of the beasts, doth it goH5927 downwards to the earthH776? 22And I have seenH7200 that there is nothingH369 betterH2896 than that manH120 should rejoiceH8055 in his own worksH4639; for that is his portionH2506; for who shall bringH935 him to seeH7200 what shall beH1961 after him?
