Ecclesiastes 3:15-21

¹⁵That thing that is made, dwelleth perfectly; those things that shall come, were before; and God restoreth that, that is gone.

¹⁶I saw under the sun unfaithfulness in the place of doom; and wickedness in the place of rightfulness.

¹⁷And I said in mine heart, The Lord shall deem a just or rightwise man, and an unfaithful man; and the time of each thing shall be then.

¹⁸I said in mine heart of the sons of men, that God should prove them, and show that they be like beasts.

¹⁹Therefore one is the perishing of man and of beasts, and even condition is of ever either; as a man dieth, so and those beasts die; all those breathe in like manner, and a man hath nothing more than a beast. All things be subject to vanity,

²⁰and all things go to one place; those be made of earth, and those turn again altogether into earth.

²¹Who knoweth, if the spirits of the sons of Adam goeth upward, and if the spirits of beasts goeth downward?
