Job 20:11
◄  Job 20:11  ►
New International Version (© 2011)
The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie with him in the dust.

King James Bible
His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

American Standard Version
His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.

Young's Literal Translation
His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down.

Job 20:11 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

His bones are full of the sin of his youth - Our translators have followed the Vulgate, Ossa ejus implebuntur vitiis adolescentiae ejus; "his bones shall be filled with the sins of his youth." The Syriac and Arabic have, his bones are full of marrow; and the Targum is to the same sense. At first view it might appear that Zophar refers to those infirmities in old age, which are the consequences of youthful vices and irregularities. עלומו alumau, which we translate his youth, may be rendered his hidden things; as if he had said, his secret vices bring down his strength to the dust. For this rendering Rosenmuller contends, and several other German critics. Mr. Good contends for the same.
