Job 15:27
“because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.”
What does Job 15:27 mean?
Eliphaz is describing someone who has grown complacent and self-indulgent, using physical heaviness as a picture of spiritual dullness. The image of a face covered in fat suggests someone so absorbed in comfort and excess that they've become blind to their own condition, unable or unwilling to see the truth about themselves. In the context of Job's suffering, Eliphaz is implying that such a person won't recognize danger or judgment coming their way. It's a vivid way of saying that prosperity without humility can make us numb to what really matters.
