“Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.”
The statement that their love, hatred, and envy have all perished, and that they have no further share in anything done under the sun, extends the picture of complete severance at death. The dead person loses relationship to the living world; their participation in the human sphere terminates absolutely. This verse reinforces that death represents total interruption rather than continuation.
