Job15:27
27. Because he covereth his face with his fatness , and maketh collops of fat on his flanks .
This is mentioned as the reason of his insolent carriage towards God, because he was fat; i. e. rich and potent, and successful, as that expression signifies, Deut. 32. 15. Psalm 78. 31. Ier. 46. 21. His great prosperity made him proud and secure, and regardless of God and men.
His onely care and study is to pamper and please himself, and obey his own mind and lusts, and in defence and pursuance of them he contends with God.
