Exegesis
The perfect atku {עָ֝תְקוּ | ʿāṯqû} ‘grow old’ and the perfect gaveru {גָּ֥בְרוּ | gāḇərû} ‘prevail’ form a parallel clause linked by gam {גַּם | gam} ‘also, even,’ underscoring accumulating advantage.
In context — Job 21:7
Why do the wicked live on, grow old, and also become mighty in strength ?
