I said, “In the prime of my life must I go through the gates of death and be robbed of the rest of my years?”
NMVI said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue (part that remains, the rest) of my years.
OJBI said: In the cutting short of my yamim, I shall go to the Sha'arei Sheol; I am deprived of the remainder of my shanot.
RVI said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
