Ecclesiastes 3:20-22
International Standard Version
20 All of them go to one place: all of them originate from dust, and all of them return to dust.
21 Who knows whether[a] the spirit of human beings ascends, and whether[b] the spirit of animals descends to the earth? 22 I concluded that it is worthwhile for people to find joy in their accomplishments, because that is their inheritance, since who can see what will exist after them?
