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.

Ibid. Pellis for pelle datur, because sæpe, dum ictus on_the_contrary oculum venit, hand opponimus, as rather in herself how in teneriori vulneremur: this consuete to_be_done sciens, he_says: Pellem for pelle, and cuncta which habet homo Quasi, ideo Yob extra se tot flagella æquanimiter sustinet, because not exactly_that/himself feriatur, pavet: and cura sui minus about to_his_own sentit; whence ipsum ferire expetit: Mitte hand your, that God recte permittit, as sæpe victus obmutescat.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

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”
