When there is paralysis and pain in the bones, the whole body is paralyzed. Pain in the bones is a deep pain, penetrating almost to the depths of our souls. The psalmist David said that when he did not confess his sins and kept silent about them, his bones wasted away. There was sorrow all the way to his bones. There was a spiritual pain deep in his bones.
Bones are the lasting record of our death.
They are the last to disappear into dust. There are people who are trained to study dead bones. From your bones they can figure our whether you were male or female, how you lived, and how you died. Bones are a universal symbol of death. Deadly poisons are marked with the skull and crossbones.
