Job 19:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 19:20
Job's physical condition is catastrophic: 'My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.' The vivid description—bones visible through skin, barely surviving—communicates extreme emaciation and suffering. 'Skin of my teeth' (proverbial phrase originating here) means narrowest escape. Job describes someone barely clinging to life. Yet this near-death experience precedes his greatest declaration of resurrection hope.
