“Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.”
Job 15:27 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 15:27
The wicked indulge in prosperity: 'Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.' This describes self-indulgent wealth—the wicked grow fat through greed and excess. 'Collops' (folds) of fat suggest repulsive over-indulgence. In ancient context where most lived subsistence-level, such obesity indicated both wealth and moral failure (lack of self-control, ignoring the poor). Eliphaz implies Job's former prosperity indicated such moral failure.
