Eliphaz reproves Job for impiety in justifying himself17. He proves by tradition the restlessness of wicked men Though his face is covered with fat In the Hebrew text, the word for "face" is "פָּנִים" (panim), which often signifies presence or countenance. The imagery of a face "covered with fat" suggests prosperity and abundance, as fatness in ancient Near Eastern culture was often associated with wealth and well-being. However, in the context of Eliphaz's speech, this phrase is used pejoratively to imply self-indulgence and moral corruption. The "covering" of fat symbolizes a spiritual blindness or insensitivity, where the individual is so consumed by material wealth that they become oblivious to their spiritual state. This serves as a warning against allowing physical prosperity to obscure one's need for God and righteousness. and his waistline bulges with flesh Parallel Commentaries ...
