Exegesis

The movement from bəlibbî {בְּלִבִּי | bə-libbî} ‘in my heart’ to bə-‘aṣ-mō-ṯāy {בְּעַצְמֹתָ֑י | bə-‘aṣ-mō-ṯāy} ‘in my bones’ creates an inward-to-somatic escalation.

In contextJeremiah 20:9

And I said, “I will not mention Him , nor speak any more in His name. But His word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones , and I was weary with holding it in, and I could not endure.”
