Exegesis

The parallel clause hayah libbi {הָיָה לִבִּי | hā-yāh lib-bî} ‘my heart was’ introduces kadonag {כַּדּוֹנָג | ka-dō-nāg} ‘like wax’ in a comparative construction, which shifts focus to emotional frailty, and names {נָמֵס | nā-mēs} ‘it is melted’ combined with betokh {בְּתוֹךְ | bə-tōḵ} ‘within’ and meai {מֵעָי | mē-ʿāy} ‘my inward parts’ returns to passive Niphal to underline utter defeat. The parallel verb stems and coordinated clauses reinforce the theme of total dissolution.

In context — Psalm 22:14

I am poured out like water , and all my bones are separated; my heart is like wax, it is melted within my inward parts .
