Job 19:20

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

My skin, turned black, and peeled off me, and, my bones, burned with heat:

Or he is chastised with pain, upon his bed, and, the strife of his bones, is unceasing!

Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones, - My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body;

When I kept silence, my bones became worn out, Through my groaning all the day;

There is no soundness in my flesh, By reason of thine indignation, There is no peace in my bones, By reason of my sin;

For, consumed in smoke, are my days, And, my bones, like a burning mass, are scorched through;

Darker than a coal, is their visage, They are not known in the streets - Their skin shrivelleth on their bones, is withered, become like a stick.

Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life.

My flesh is clothed with worms and a coating of dust, My skin, hath hardened, and then run afresh:

He hath worn out my flesh and my skin, hath broken my bones;

Our skin, as with a furnace, is scorched, because of the hot winds of famine.
