Job 21:10

Justice

8 Their descendants are established around them, and their offspring before their eyes.

9 Their homes are safe from fear; no rod of punishment from God is upon them.

Their bulls breed without fail; their cows bear calves and do not miscarry.

11 They send forth their little ones like a flock; their children skip about,

12 singing to the tambourine and lyre and making merry at the sound of the flute.
