Job 20:11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. It should be borne in mind that in old age it is too late to mend, that then you must inhabit what you have built. Old age has the foundation of its joy or its sorrow laid in youth. You are building at twenty. Are you building for seventy? Nay, every stone laid in the foundation takes hold of every stone in the wall up to the very eaves of the building; and every deed, right or wrong, that transpires in youth, reaches forward, and has a relation to all the after-part of man's life. (H.W. Beecher.) Parallel Verses KJV: His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.WEB: His bones are full of his youth, but youth shall lie down with him in the dust. |
