Job 15:27 Context
25For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himselfe against the Almightie. 26He runneth vpon him, euen on his necke, vpon the thicke bosses of his bucklers: 27Because he couereth his face with his fatnesse, and maketh collops of fat on his flankes. 28And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heapes. 29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof vpon the earth.

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.
