What will be his consolation?
Rashi: This (killing me) will also 1 be consolation for me.
Devar Eliyahu: Increasing the afflictions will be consolation for me - it will bring my death close, and exempt me from the afflictions.
I.e. in addition to ceasing my afflictions. (PF)
What is the meaning of "va'Asaldah v'Chilah Lo Yachmol"?
Rashi: I request with Chilah (trembling) that He not have mercy, and not cleave me. There is nothing like Asaldah in Tanach; in the Mishnah, it is an expression of fear and worry, like Yad Soledes Bo - the hand fears being scalded in boiling water.
Ibn Ezra: This is like Beitzah Seludah 1 . He asks in astonishment, why does He not have mercy [on me]? I did not deny His words!
Ibn Ezra citing Rav Hai Gaon: Asaldah is an expression of raising.
Devar Eliyahu: I will praise Hashem with trembling and fear for my many afflictions.
Malbim: How can I accept this consolation, that via accepting the afflictions with love, Hashem will not have mercy on me to kill me immediately, rather, I will live longer in pain? How will I burn in fear, afraid to complain against Hashem, so He will not kill me? Killing me is mercy, to exempt me from afflictions without a cure!
Gitin 57a: Egg white is Soled (Rashi - dries and forms a crust) via fire.
What is the meaning of "Lo Chichadti Imrei Kadosh"?
Rashi: I did not detract from fulfilling His words.
Devar Eliyahu: I know that I am a Tzadik, and I was never false in Hashem's words.
Malbim: If I will not contradict your Nevu'ah, which was via a Kadosh (the angel that gives Nevu'ah to Nevi'im), I will continue my life, which is harsher than death!
