Exegesis
The locative prepositional phrase be-sari {בְּשָׂרִי | bə-sārî} ‘in my flesh’ specifies the bodily locus of distress. Hebrew word order advances from mental perception to emotional response to physical effect, which is rendered in English by balancing formal precision with dynamic immediacy.
In context — Job 21:6
And if I remember, I am dismayed , and trembling seizes my flesh .
