4 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “flesh” →
The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
