Ecclesiastes 3:22

20 All go to one place: ^aall are from the dust, and all return to dust.

21 ^aWho¹ knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?

22 ^aSo I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for ^bthat is his heritage. ^cFor who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

Ecclesiastes 3:22

Better - For a man's present satisfaction. Should rejoice - That he comfortably enjoys what God hath given him. His portion - This is the benefit of his labours. For - When once he is dead he shall never return to see into whose hands his estate falls.
