There is no way for us to know what will happen after we die. 3.22 what we have … do or our work, because we are going to have to do it anyway. 21 How can anyone be sure that the human spirit goes upwards while an animal's spirit goes down into the ground? 22 So I realized then that the best thing we can do is to enjoy what we have worked for. They both came from it they will both go back to it.
20 They are both going to the same place - the dust. A human being is no better off than an animal, because life has no meaning for either. 19 After all, the same fate awaits human beings and animals alike. 18 I concluded that God is testing us, to show us that we are no better than animals. 17 I told myself, “God is going to judge the righteous and the evil alike, because every thing, every action, will happen at its own set time.” 3.17 Probable text its own set time Hebrew its own set time there.

The time for saving and the time for throwing away,ħ the time for tearing and the time for mending, The time for kissing and the time for not kissing.Ħ He sets the time for finding and the time for losing, The time for mourning and the time for dancing,ĥ the time for making love and the time for not making love, The time for tearing down and the time for building.Ĥ He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy, The time for planting and the time for pulling up,ģ the time for killing and the time for healing, 1 Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses.Ģ He sets the time for birth and the time for death,
