Isa 38:10 · Douay-Rheims
“I said: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell: I sought for the residue of my years.”
On this verse:
“cutting off--ROSENMULLER translates, "the meridian"; when the sun stands in the zenith: so "the perfect day" (Pro 4:18). Rather, "in the tranquillity of my days," that is, that period of life when I might now look forward to a tranquil reign [MAURER]. The Hebrew is so translated (Isa 62:6-7). go to--rather, "go into," as in Isa 46:2 [MAURER]. residue of my years--those which I had calculated on. God sends sickness to teach man not to calculate on the morrow, but to live more wholly to God, as if each day were the last.”
