Job 20:11
The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.
BSB
ASV
His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.
KJV
His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
His bones are full of the sin of his youth - The words “of the sin” in our common translation are supplied by the translators. Gesenius and Noyes suppose that the Hebrew means, “His bones are full of youth;” that is, full of vigor and strength, and the idea according to this would be, that he would be cut off in the fulness of his strength.
No, he is likely to carry his pains and diseases with him to the grave, or rather they are likely to carry him thither, and so the sins of his youth shall lie down with him in the dust; the very putrefying of his body in the grave is to him the effect of sin ( ch. xxiv. 19 ), so that his iniquity is upon his bones there, Ezek. xxxii. The sin of sinners follows them to the other side death.
UMBREIT translates, "full of his secret sins," as in Ps 90:8; his secret guilt in his time of seeming righteousness, like secret poison, at last lays him in the dust. The English Version is best. Zophar alludes to Job's own words (Job 17:16). with him--His sin had so pervaded his nature that it accompanies him to the grave: for eternity the sinner cannot get rid of it (Re 22:11).

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

If we deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins remains,
