Exegesis
The first clause places the verb essa {אֶשָּׂא | ʾes-saʾ} ‘lift, carry’ before its object besari {בְשָׂרִי | bə-śā-rî} ‘my flesh’, then adds the striking prepositional phrase beshinnay {בְשִׁנָּי | bə-šin-nay} ‘in my teeth’, a vivid image of exposing oneself to harm.
In context — Job 13:14
Why should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my palm?
