Exegesis
The conjunction ve-lo {וְלֹ֣א | wə-lōʾ} introduces a Hiphil imperfect to express impossible failure (yageil {יַגְעִ֑ל | yaġʕîl} “causes to miscarry”; teshakel {תְשַׁכֵּֽל | təšakkēl} “miscarry”). This mirrored stem interplay underscores uninterrupted fertility, a hallmark of wisdom poetry.
Root and etymology
ש־כ־ל
“to be bereaved, miscarry”
In context — Job 21:10
His bull breeds and does not fail; his cow calves and does not miscarry.
