'My Flesh' in the Bible
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?
And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
No soundness in my flesh from thy wrath; no peace in my bones from the face of my sins.
For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
For my loins were filled with inflammation, and no soundness in my flesh.
{A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.
I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.
The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
