“It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.”
"By disease the firstborn of death is devoured; the limbs of his body are devoured." Disease consumes the wicked person's body. The metaphor of "firstborn of death" suggests that sickness is death's offspring, its representative. The verse emphasizes disease as progressive consumption.
