The Problem of Injustice and Mortality

Ecclesiastes 3:16-22

And moreouer I haue seene vnder the sunne the place of iudgement, where was wickednesse, and the place of iustice where was iniquitie.

I thought in mine heart, God wil iudge the iust and the wicked: for time is there for euery purpose and for euery worke.

I considered in mine heart the state of the children of men that God had purged them: yet to see to, they are in themselues as beastes.

For the condition of the children of men, and the condition of beasts are euen as one condition vnto them. As the one dyeth, so dyeth the other: for they haue all one breath, and there is no excellency of man aboue ye beast: for all is vanitie.

All goe to one place, and all was of the dust, and all shall returne to the dust.

Who knoweth whether the spirit of man ascend vpward, and the spirit of the beast descend downeward to the earth?

Therefore I see that there is nothing better then that a man shoulde reioyce in his affaires, because that is his portion. For who shall bring him to see what shalbe after him?
