Haydock's commentary
Life. Thou wilt not be asked how long, but how well thou hast lived. No one will then envy thy long life. (Calmet)
It will be in vain to plead that the length or shortness of life has occasioned thy sins; for God does all with justice and for the best, if men would use rightly his benefits. (Worthington)
Thou wilt not repine at having lived too short a time. (Menochius)
An evil life will be alone condemned, Wisdom v. (Du Hamel)
