Hunc ergo judicans ex aliis, qui in loco pastorum aliena damna contemnunt, quasi non motum multis subtractis, quasi quæ extra se sunt, dolore propriæ carnis tentat, quasi pro se doleat, qui non pro aliis. Hoc cum fieri petit, dicit desideriis; hæc et per membra verbis et desideriis intulit, per quæ dixit: Mittamus lignum in panem ejus Jer. 11., id est, configendo corpori ejus stipitem crucis adhibeamus. Ibid. Pellis pro pelle datur, quia sæpe, dum ictus contra oculum venit, manum opponimus, ut potius in ipsa quam in teneriori vulneremur: hoc consuete fieri sciens, dicit: Pellem pro pelle, et cuncta quæ habet homo Quasi, ideo Job extra se tot flagella æquanimiter sustinet, quia ne ipse feriatur, pavet: et cura sui minus de suis sentit; unde ipsum ferire expetit: Mitte manum tuam, quod Deus recte permittit, ut sæpe victus obmutescat.

ע֣וֹר בְּעַד־ע֗וֹר
skin/leather behind skin/leather
In this expression, the adversary is using part of a person or animal, the skin, to mean all of that person or animal. The basic meaning is that a person will sacrifice even a valuable herd animal in order to save himself, and the more general meaning, as the adversary explains in the rest of the verse, is that a person will sacrifice just about anything he owns in order to stay alive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “An animal in exchange for a person’s life”
