Ecclesiastes 3:16-22 - God's Mysterious Plan Allows Injustice To Exist In The World
16 I saw under the sun the place of judgment and wickedness was there. And wickedness was in the place of righteousness. 17 I said in my heart, God should judge the righteous and the wicked for there is a time for every purpose and for every work. 18 I said in my heart concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tested them that they might see that they are like animals. 19 What happens to the sons of men also happens to animals. As the one dies so the other dies. Yes, they all have one breath so that a man has no advantage over animals. For all is vanity. 20 All go to one place. All came from the dust and all return to dust. 21 Who knows the breath of man that goes upward, and the breath of the animal that goes downward to the earth? 22 I see there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his own works. That is his portion. Who will bring him to see what will happen after him?
