Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 102:3

3 For my days are consumed like smoke : and my bones are burnt as an hearth .

Which passeth away in obscurity and swiftly and irrecoverably. Or, into smoke, as Wood or any combustible matter put into the fire wasteth away in smoke and ashes.

The most strong and solid parts of my body which seemed safest from the fire.

Either as an Hearth is heated or burnt up by the Coals which are laid upon it: or as the Hearth being so heated burns up that which is put upon it.
