SCRIPTURE

"They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance. They sing to the timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the pipe." — Job 21:11-12 (ASV)

They send forth their little ones ... —In striking contrast to the fate of Job’s own children, and in contradiction to what Eliphaz had said (Job 15:29–33).
