[3:16] Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.
[3:17] I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.
[3:18] I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.
[3:19] For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity.
[3:20] All go to one place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return.
[3:21] Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth?
[3:22] So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him?
