Exegesis
The infinitive construct bi-kəlot {בִּכְל֥וֹת | bi-kə-lōṯ} introduces a result clause governing the dual construct of flesh and body. Each prepositional phrase sequentially emphasizes exhaustive depletion. The parallelism between basar and she’er reflects two dimensions of human existence—physical substance and inner being—rendered in English with “flesh and body” to convey comprehensive wasting away.
In context — Proverbs 5:11
And you will groan at your end, when your flesh is finished and your body is consumed.
