Context of Job 21:10

8Their seed is established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes. 9Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them. Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. 11They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance. 12They sing to the timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
