Exegesis
The body terms kilyotay {כִּ֭לְיוֹתַי | kil-yō-ṯay} ‘my kidneys’ and mererati {מְרֵרָֽתִי | mə-rē-rā-ṯî} ‘my gall’ function as vivid poetic metonymy for inner life and crushed vitality, intensifying the lament through visceral imagery. The English rendering uses a dash and semicolons to mirror the Hebrew’s rapid verbal progression and escalating violence.
Root and etymology
consonantsMem–Resh–Resh
“to be bitter”
In context — Job 16:13
They encircle me—His archers ; He cleaves my kidneys open and shows no pity; He pours out my gall onto the earth.
