【释义】:
刻不容缓,侥幸,相差极小;恰好,刚巧
Yea. young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth
Job 19:18-20
连小孩子也藐视我。
我若起来,他们都嘲笑我。
我的密友都憎恶我,我平日所爱的人向我翻脸。
我的皮肉紧贴骨头,我只剩牙皮逃脱了。
《约伯记》19∶18-20]
