Bible verse
The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.
Job 20:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 20.
7 he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’
8 He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.
9 The eye that saw him will see him no more, and his place will no longer behold him.
10 His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth.
11 The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.
12 Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he conceals it under his tongue,
13 though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,
14 yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him.
15 He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.
