Ecclesiastes 3:21-22
New International Reader's Version
21 Who can know whether the spirit of a person goes up? Who can tell whether the spirit of an animal goes down into the earth?”
22 So a person should enjoy their work. That’s what God made them for. I saw that there’s nothing better for them to do than that. After all, who can show them what will happen after they are gone?
