“Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.”
King James Version (KJV)
Job 15:27 Context
24Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. 25For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. 26He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers: 27Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks. 28And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps. 29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth. 30He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.

Bible commentary
Wesley's Notes for Job 15:27
15:27 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, #Deut 32:15 Psal 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.
