Ecclesiastes 3:22

God's Mysterious Plan Allows Injustice To Exist In The World

²¹ Who knows if the spirit of man ascends upward and the spirit of the animal descends downward to the earth? ²² So I have seen that there is nothing better than that a man should be happy in his own works and activities, for that is his portion (share). For who will bring him [back] to see what will happen after he is gone?

In The Future

No

Ecclesiastes 6:12

For who [limited by human wisdom] knows what is good for man during his lifetime, during the few days of his futile life?

Ecclesiastes 3:11-12

He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time.

Behold, here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find enjoyment in all the labor in which he labors under the sun during the few days of his life which God gives him—for this is his [allotted] reward.

Ecclesiastes 8:15

Then I commended pleasure and enjoyment, because a man [without God] has no better thing under the sun than to eat and to drink and to be merry, for this will stand by him in his toil through the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.
