Exegesis
The final phrase bekerbo {בְּקִרְבּֽוֹ | bə-qir-bô} ‘within him’ reinforces internality and intensifies the image through near-synonymous repetition with bemeav, a compact poetic parallelism that drives home the hidden, inward ruin.
In context — Job 20:14
His food is turned in his inward parts, becoming the bitterness of serpents within him .
