There is no soundness in him

There is no soundness in him

There is no wholeness in him. Full of flaws (Metom means a healthy or intact place in the body).

("From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrefying sores: they have not been closed, nor bound up, neither mollified with ointment" – Isaiah 1:6. Also: "There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation; there is no peace in my bones because of my sin" – Psalms 38:4. Also: "And in that ruin lived an old leprous man, from head to toe there was no soundness in him, he was all wounds and bruises" – S.Y. Agnon / Stories of the Baal Shem Tov / From the Depths of the Shells. Also: "There is no soundness in my soul, no soundness in my flesh / I have been struck by the vengeance of the Lord" – Leah Goldberg / Against Four Sons)
