|

|
21. Who H4310 knoweth H3045 the spirit H7307 of man H120 that H1931 goeth H5927 upward H4605 , and the spirit H7307 of the beast H929 that H1931 goeth H3381 downward H4295 to the earth H776 ?
|
|
22. Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him {cf15i back} to see what shall be after him?
|
22. Wherefore I perceive H7200 that H3588 there is nothing H369 better H2896 , than that H4480 H834 a man H120 should rejoice H8055 in his own works H4639 ; for H3588 that H1931 is his portion H2506 : for H3588 who H4310 shall bring H935 him to see H7200 what shall be H4100 H7945 H1961 after H310 him?
