And moreover I
saw under the
sun the
place of
judgment, that
wickedness was there; and the
place of
righteousness, that
iniquity was there.

I
said in mine
heart, God shall
judge the
righteous and the
wicked: for there is a
time there for every
purpose and for every
work.

I
said in mine
heart concerning the
estate of the
sons of
men, that
God might
manifest them, and that they might
see that
they themselves are
beasts.

For that which
befalleth the
sons of
men befalleth beasts; even one
thing befalleth them: as the one
dieth, so
dieth the
other; yea, they have all
one breath; so that a
man hath no
preeminence above a
beast: for all is
vanity.

All
go unto
one place; all are of the
dust, and all
turn to
dust again.

Who

spirit of the

goeth downward to the
earth?

Wherefore I
perceive that there is nothing
better, than that a
man should
rejoice in his own
works; for that is his
portion: for who shall
bring him to
see what shall be
after him?
