Exegesis
The concluding clause employs kilyōṯay {כִלְיֹתַ֣י | kilyōṯay} ‘kidneys’ and bə-ḥêqî {בְּחֵקִֽי | bə-ḥêqî} ‘in my bosom’ as vivid Hebrew expressions of deep longing, rendered in English as “inner depths” and “bosom” to preserve metaphorical resonance.
In context — Job 19:27
Whom I myself will see for myself, and my eyes will behold, and not another; my kidneys are consumed within my bosom.
