Context of Job 15:26
24He is afraid and confused. Trouble is ready to attack him, like a king with his army. 25That happens to the person who turns against God. He thinks that he is greater than Almighty God. He is proud enough to attack God. He holds a big shield as he runs to attack God! 27He eats too much and his whole body is very fat. 28He lives in a town that is empty. No one else lives in the houses there. The buildings will soon fall down and they will become heaps of stones.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 26He runneth upon him - That is, upon God. The image here is taken from the mode in which people rushed into battle. It was with a violent concussion, and usually with a shout, that they might intimidate their foes, and overcome them at first, with the violence of the shock. The mode of warfare is now changed, and it is the vaunted excellency of modern warfare that armies now go deliberately and calmly to put each other to death. Even “on his neck…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-35Verses 17-35 Eliphaz maintains that the wicked are certainly miserable: whence he would infer, that the miserable are certainly wicked, and therefore Job was so. But because many of God's people have prospered in this world, it does not therefore follow that those who are crossed and made poor, as Job, are not God's people. Eliphaz shows also that wicked people, particularly oppressors, are subject to continual terror, live very uncomfortably, and perish…Read the comment
