Verse 22 is found in chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes. Qohelet observes injustice precisely where justice should exist and acknowledges that God will judge both the righteous and the wicked. He also considers human and animal mortality, emphasizing that both return to dust. The passage does not seek to reduce humanity to an animal, but to confront the observable reality of death. Faced with this uncertainty, he again recommends responsibly enjoying one’s work as a gift received during life.
