Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
בְּעוֹרִ֣י וּ֭בִבְשָׂרִי דָּבְקָ֣ה עַצְמִ֑י
in/on/at/with,skin,my and,in/on/at/with,flesh,my cling bones,my
Job is not referring to a specific bone. He means all of his bones. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: “My bones cling to my skin and to my flesh”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
בְּעוֹרִ֣י וּ֭בִבְשָׂרִי דָּבְקָ֣ה עַצְמִ֑י
in/on/at/with,skin,my and,in/on/at/with,flesh,my cling bones,my
Job is speaking of this representative bone as if it were living thing that could cling to his skin and flesh. He means that his bones are right next to his skin and flesh, that is, all of the muscle in between has wasted away. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. You could also state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I am just skin and bones”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וָ֝אֶתְמַלְּטָ֗ה בְּע֣וֹר שִׁנָּֽי
and,escaped, in/on/at/with,skin teeth,my
Job is speaking as if he had barely escaped from some disaster, and he is describing what he was able to escape with. Interpreters have different ideas about what he is describing, but they generally agree that it means something insignificant. Alternate translation: “and there is practically nothing left of me”
19:20 escaped death by the skin of my teeth: This is an idiom for a narrow escape; the Hebrew could also mean that Job was reduced to a skeleton with a toothy skull.
