Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 15:27

_ _ 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 (Deuteronomy 32:15; 1 Samuel 2:29).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 15:17-35.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 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, Deuteronomy 32:15; Psalms 78:31; Jeremiah 46:21. His great prosperity made him proud and secure, and regardless of God and men. Fat — His only care is to pamper himself.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 15:27

Because he covereth his face with (q) his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on [his] flanks.

(q) That is, he was so puffed up with prosperity and abundance for all things, that he forgave God: noting that Job in his happiness did not have the true fear of God.
