Job 14:22 and the Grief of Flesh and Soul

Job 14:22: “But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.” Stock translates thus: “But over him his flesh shall grieve, and over him his breath shall mourn,” and adds, “In the daring spirit of oriental poetry the flesh, or body, and the breath, are made conscious beings; the former lamenting its putrefaction in the grave, the latter mourning over the mouldering clay which it once enlivened.”—Clarke.
