The Agony of Dying
One interpretation, highlighted by Matthew Henry, is that this verse describes the painful process of dying. As long as the soul is in the body, there is physical pain ('flesh...hath pain') and emotional sorrow ('soul...mourneth'). This serves as a powerful warning against delaying repentance until a deathbed, when one is overwhelmed by suffering.
