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

My bone {H6106} cleaveth {H1692} to my skin {H5785} and to my flesh {H1320}, and I am escaped {H4422} with the skin {H5785} of my teeth {H8127}.

My bones stick to my skin and flesh; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

My skin and flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

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