10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
10 Their bulls never fail to breed; their cows calve and do not miscarry.
10 Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves and does not miscarry.
10 Their bulls breed with great vigor and their cows calve without fail.
10 Their bull breeds without failure; Their cow calves without miscarriage.
10 Their bulls never fail to breed. Their cows bear calves and never miscarry.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 21:10
Commentary on Job 21:7-16
(Read Job 21:7-16)
Job says, Remarkable judgments are sometimes brought upon notorious sinners, but not always. Wherefore is it so? This is the day of God's patience; and, in some way or other, he makes use of the prosperity of the wicked to serve his own counsels, while it ripens them for ruin; but the chief reason is, because he will make it appear there is another world. These prospering sinners make light of God and religion, as if because they have so much of this world, they had no need to look after another. But religion is not a vain thing. If it be so to us, we may thank ourselves for resting on the outside of it. Job shows their folly.
