my wasting
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular common noun in construct state with 1st person common singular suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from כחשׁ, expressing failure or untruth; as a masculine singular construct with a 1st person singular suffix, it denotes something belonging to the speaker—"my wasting." "Wasting" preserves the root idea of failure or decline while allowing for its metaphorical extension to moral failure. |
