Contextual Overview
7 Wherefore doe the wicked liue, become old, yea, are mightie in power? 8 Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. 9 Their houses are safe from feare, neither is the rod of God vpon them. 10 Their bull gendreth and faileth not, their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe. 11 They send foorth their little ones like a flocke, and their children dance. 12 They take the timbrell and harpe, and reioyce at the sound of the organe. 13 They spend their daies in wealth, and in a moment goe downe to the graue. 14 Therefore they say vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes. 15 What is the Almightie, that wee should serue him? and what profite should we haue, if we pray vnto him? 16 Loe, their good is not in their hand, the counsell of the wicked is farre from me.

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.
