Contextual Overview
7 Why do evil people live so long and gain such power? 8 Why are they allowed to see their children grow up? 9 They have no worries at home, and God never punishes them. 10 Their cattle have lots of calves without ever losing one; 11 their children play and dance safely by themselves. 12 These people sing and celebrate to the sound of tambourines, small harps, and flutes, 13 and they are successful, without a worry, until the day they die. 14 Those who are evil say to God All-Powerful, "Leave us alone! Don't bother us with your teachings. 15 What do we gain from praying and worshiping you? 16 We succeeded all on our own." And so, I keep away from them and their evil schemes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not,.... As the wicked man's prosperity is described before by the increase and comfortable settlement of his children and grandchildren, and by the peace and safety of all within doors; here it is further set forth by the increase of his cattle in the fields, one part being put for the whole, his oxen and asses, his camels and sheep, things in which the riches of men chiefly lay in those times and countries; and he was reckoned an happy man when these brought forth abundantly; see Psalms 144:13;
their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf; both male and female succeed in propagating their species, and so in increasing the wealth of their owner; this is sometimes promised as a temporal blessing,
Exodus 23:26.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Their bull gendereth - See Rosenmuller and Lee on this verse; comp Bochart, Hieroz. P. 1, Lib. ii. c. xxx. The general idea is, that the wicked were prospered as well as the pious. God did not interpose by a miracle to cut off their cattle, and to prevent their becoming rich.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 21:10. Their bull gendereth — עבר ibbar, passes over, i.e., on the cow, referring to the actions of the bull when coupling with the female. Their flocks multiply greatly, they bring forth in time, and none of them is barren.
