Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bi-lkhumo {בִּלְחוּמֽוֹ | bilḥûmô} shifts the locus of judgment from sustenance to the body, intensifying the irony.
In context — Job 20:23
When he is about to fill his belly, God will send into him the burning of His anger , and He will rain it upon him into his body .
