NAS

NIV

21 Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?
21 Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”
22 I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?
22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
