Job 15:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 15:26

24 Trouble and anguish make him afraid;
They overpower him, like a king ready for¹ battle.

25 For he stretches out his hand against God,
And acts defiantly against the Almighty,

26 Running stubbornly against Him
With his strong, embossed shield.

27 “Though^a he has covered his face with his fatness,
And made his waist heavy with fat,

28 He dwells in desolate cities,
In houses which no one inhabits,
Which are destined to become ruins.

29 He will not be rich,
Nor will his wealth ^acontinue,
Nor will his possessions overspread the earth.
