Context of Job 21:10
8Their children are established while they are still alive, and their descendants, before their eyes. 9Their homes are secure and free of fear; no rod from God strikes them. Their bulls breed without fail; their cows calve and do not miscarry. 11They let their little ones run around like lambs; their children skip about, 12singing to the tambourine and lyre and rejoicing at the sound of the flute.
