For the only good people can have under the sun is to eat and drink and enjoy themselves. That much can accompany them, in exchange for their wealth, through the days of life that God has granted them under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 8:16 Gematria: 5992

Ecclesiastes 8:17 Gematria: 7947
וראיתי אתכלמעשה האלהים כי לא יוכל האדם למצוא אתהמעשה אשר נעשה תחתהשמש בשל אשר יעמל האדם לבקש ולא ימצא וגם אםיאמר החכם לדעת לא יוכל למצא

Indeed, human beings cannot guess the events that occur under the sun. For humans try strenuously, but fail to guess them; and even if those who are wise should think to discover them they would not be able to guess them.
