Job 2:4
_ _ Skin for skin — a proverb. Supply, “He will give.” The “skin” is figurative for any outward good. Nothing outward is so dear that a man will not exchange it for some other outward good; “but” (not “yea”) “life,” the inward good, cannot be replaced; a man will sacrifice everything else for its sake. Satan sneers bitterly at man’s egotism and says that Job bears the loss of property and children because these are mere outward and exchangeable goods, but he will give up all things, even his religion, in order to save his life, if you touch his bones and flesh. “Skin” and “life” are in antithesis [Umbreit]. The martyrs prove Satan’s sneer false. Rosenmuller explains it not so well. A man willingly gives up another’s skin (life) for his own skin (life). So Job might bear the loss of his children, etc., with equanimity, so long as he remained unhurt himself; but when touched in his own person, he would renounce God. Thus the first “skin” means the other’s skin, that is, body; the second “skin,” one’s own, as in Exodus 21:28. |
Job 2:4
Skin, &c. — The sense is, this is so far from being an evidence of Job's sincere and generous piety, that it is only an act of mere self — love; he is contented with the loss of his estate, and children too, so long as he sleeps in a whole skin; and he is well pleased, that thou wilt accept of these a ransom in his stead; and it is not true patience which makes him seem to bear his crosses so submissively, but policy, that he may appease thy wrath against him, and prevent those farther plagues, which, for his hypocrisy, he fears thou wilt otherwise bring upon his own carcase. |
Job 2:4
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, (e) Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
(e) By this he means that a man's own skin is dearer to him than another man's. |

Esther 7:3-4 Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request: ... For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
