Job 15:27

“Because he covereth his face with his fatness, etc.] He has no fear of God, nor shame for his sin; he blushes not to rise up against God in the manner he does, because his eyes stand out with fatness; or rather his face is covered with it, that is, he abounds in riches, he enjoys great prosperity, a large affluence of all good things; and this makes him haughty and imperious, neither to fear God, nor regard man like Jeshurun, who, when he “waxed fat, [was] grown thick, and covered with fatness, kicked” against God, and his providences, sinned and rebelled against him; “forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation”, (<053215>Deuteronomy 32:15); and to the same…”

“The well-nourished body of the rebel is the sign of his prosperity. collops--masses of fat. He pampers and fattens himself with sensual indulgences; hence his rebellion against God (Deu 32:15; Sa1 2:29).”

“Because he covereth his face with his fatness - That is, he not only stretches out his hand against God Job 15:25 and rushes upon him as an armed foe Job 15:26, but he gives himself up to a life of luxury, gluttony, and licentiousness; and therefore, these calamities must come upon him. This is designed to be a description of a luxurious and licentious person - a man who is an enemy of God, and who, therefore, must incur his displeasure. And maketh collops of fat - Like an ox that is fattened. The word collop properly means “a small slice of meat, a piece of flesh” (Webster), but here it means a thick piece, or a mass. The word is used in this sense in New England. The sense is, that he…”

“Because - This is mentioned as the reason of his insolent carriage towards God, because he was fat, rich, potent, and successful, as that expression signifies, Deu 32:15; Psa 78:31; Jer 46:21. His great prosperity made him proud and secure, and regardless of God and men. Fat - His only care is to pamper himself. Job 15:28”

“he covereth: Job 17:10; Deu 32:15; Psa 17:10, Psa 73:7, Psa 78:31; Isa 6:10; Jer 5:28 Job 15:28”
