The Hebrew of this verse is very obscure; it has been translated word for word. “The holy flesh” is that of the sacrifices.

The context

14As for you, do not pray for this people, and do not lift up for them a cry or a prayer, for I will not be listening in the time when they call to me because of their evil.
