Job 15:27 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He covereth his face with his fatness This is mentioned as the reason of his insolent carriage toward God. because he was fat, rich, potent, and successful, as that expression signifies, Deuteronomy 32:15; Psalms 78:31; Jeremiah 46:21. His great prosperity made him proud and secure, and regardless of God and men. Maketh collops of fat on his flanks His only care is to pamper and please himself, and satisfy his own lusts, and in defence and pursuance of them he contends with God.

Job 15:27

27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
