Context of Job 15:25
23He wanders about for bread— ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is at hand. 24Distress and anguish terrify him; they overpower him like a king poised to attack, for he raises his hand against God and flaunts himself against Shaddai, 26defiantly rushing at Him with a thick, strong shield. 27Because He covered his face with his fat and made his hips bulge with blubber,
