My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 19 of Job. Job’s loneliness reaches an extreme dimension: brothers, friends, servants, and those close to him turn away. Even his own family rejects him. Job asks his friends at least to have compassion and stop pursuing him. The request is significant because the theological debate has also become a crisis of human solidarity.

Mein Gebein hanget an mir an Haut und Fleisch, und ich kann meine Zähne mit der Haut nicht bedecken.
Mi cuero y mi carne se pegaron a mis huesos; Y he escapado con la piel de mis dientes.
Mis huesos se han pegado a mi piel y a mi carne; he escapado solo con la piel de mis dientes.
Mes os sont attachés à ma peau et à ma chair; Il ne me reste que la peau des dents.
Le mie ossa sono attaccate alla mia pelle ed alla mia carne; E non mi è rimasto altro di salvo che la pelle d’intorno a’ miei denti.
Os meus ossos se apegaram à minha pele e à minha carne, e escapei só com a pele dos meus dentes.
我的皮和肉緊貼骨頭, 我得以逃脫,僅剩牙齒 。
