The Key Word — אָבָ֑דָה, 'a.Va.dahgenerated
The verb אָבַד (abad) means 'to perish' or 'to be lost.' It indicates a complete cessation of existence or relevance, often in a moral or existential context. The perfect form here suggests that the emotions have not just faded but have completely ceased to be.
This word encapsulates the idea that human experiences and feelings, while intense and significant during life, ultimately lead to nothing after death. The emphasis on perishing highlights the futility of clinging to these emotions when faced with the inevitability of mortality.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses vanished to convey the complete disappearance of love, hate, and envy. The KJV and ASV also use vanished, maintaining the same sense.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb governing the sentence is אָבָ֑דָה, it has perished, with a series of noun phrases preceding it: אַהֲבָתָ֧ם, שִׂנְאָתָ֛ם, and קִנְאָתָ֖ם. These phrases list the emotions that have vanished, emphasizing their collective loss.
The structure emphasizes the main action of perishing, with the subject being the emotions themselves. The use of multiple noun phrases creates a rhythmic buildup, culminating in the declaration of their complete disappearance.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates אָבָ֑דָה as ἀπώλετο (apōleto), which also means 'to perish' or 'to be lost.' This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, reinforcing the notion of complete loss.
The LXX maintains the focus on the finality of the emotions' disappearance, suggesting that the translators understood the weight of the original Hebrew in conveying the transitory nature of human experiences.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ecclesiastes 9:6 tells us that love, hate, and envy are temporary feelings that vanish after death, and those who have died will not participate in anything that happens in life under the sun. This verse reflects on the futility of holding onto these emotions, as they ultimately lead to nothing.

Also their love and their hatred, &c.] Here is lie upon lie. The atheist, as he had denied knowledge to the dead, so here he denies affections, as love, hatred, envy, or zeal, as Jerome renders it. But it is certain that those that are dead in Jesus do very dearly love God, and hate evil with a perfect hatred. The wicked, on the other side, continue in that other world to hate God and goodness, to love such as themselves are, to stomach the happiness of those in heaven, &c.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text (MT) of Ecclesiastes 9:6 states that love, hate, and envy have vanished, and that there is no longer a share in what is done under the sun. The Septuagint (LXX) agrees with the MT in content, as all 18 words match in a word-by-word correspondence, although the order and articles differ due to the nature of the Greek translation. There are no significant differences between the MT and the LXX in this verse. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional variants for this specific verse, so their agreements or disagreements cannot be noted here.

HAcmsa — HAcmsa
a-gen': Advb. denoting repetition; in New Testament, generally for palin, "back," "once more." Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.

Sun
(Heb. shemesh), first mentioned along with the moon as the two great luminaries of heaven (Gen. 1:14-18). By their motions and influence they were intended to mark and divide times and seasons. The worship of the sun was one of the oldest forms of false religion (Job 31:26,27), and was common among the Egyptians and Chaldeans and other pagan nations. The Jews were warned against this form of idolatry (Deut. 4:19; 17:3; comp. 2 Kings 23:11; Jer. 19:13).
In the history of "greater light," of the creation the sun is described as "greater light," in contradistinction to the moon, the "lesser light," in conjunction with which it was to serve "for signs and for seasons, and for days, and for years," while its special office was "to rule the day." (Genesis 1:14-16) The "signs" referred to were probably such extraordinary phenomena as eclipses, which were regarded as conveying premonitions of coming events. (Jeremiah 10:2; Matthew 24:29) with Luke 21:25 The joint influence assigned to the sun and moon in deciding the "seasons," both for agricultural operations and for religious festivals, and also in regulating the length and…
