Job 21:11

They allow their children to run ¹  like a flock; their little ones dance about.

They send forth their children as a flock; their little ones dance about.

"They send forth their little ones like the flock, And their children skip about.

Their children skip about like lambs in a flock of sheep.

They send their children out to play and watch them frolic like spring lambs.

They send out their young ones like a flock, and their children have pleasure in the dance,

They send out their little ones like a flock, and their children dance around.

They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.

They allow their children to run ¹  like a flock; their little ones dance about.

¹ tn The verb שָׁלַח (shalakh) means “to send forth,” but in the Piel “to release; to allow to run free.” The picture of children frolicking in the fields and singing and dancing is symbolic of peaceful, prosperous times.
