Ecclesiastes 3:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ They are both going to the same place—the dust. They both came from it; they will both go back to it. ²¹ How can anyone be sure that the human spirit goes upward while an animal's spirit goes down into the ground? ²² So I realized then that the best thing we can do is enjoy what we have worked for. There is nothing else we can do.^[a] There is no way for us to know what will happen after we die.
