Job 15:25–27

25 because he shakes his fist at God

and vaunts himself against the Almighty,

26 defiantly charging against him

with a thick, strong shield.

27 “Though his face is covered with fat

and his waist bulges with flesh,

25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God,

And strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

26 He runneth upon him, even on his neck,

Upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:

27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness,

And maketh collops of fat on his flanks.

25 For they shake their fists at God,

defying the Almighty.

26 Holding their strong shields,

they defiantly charge against him.

27 “These wicked people are heavy and prosperous;

their waists bulge with fat.

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 he has covered his face with his fatness,

And made his waist heavy with fat,

25 because they shake their fists at God

and try to get their own way against the Almighty.

26 They stubbornly charge at God

with thick, strong shields.

27 “Although the faces of the wicked are thick with fat,

and their bellies are fat with flesh,

25 Because he hath stretched out his hand against God,

And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;

26 He runneth upon him with a stiff neck,

With the thick bosses of his bucklers;

27 Because he hath covered his face with his fatness,

And gathered fat upon his loins;

25 For he hath stretched out his hand against •God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty: 26 He runneth against him, with outstretched neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers; 27 For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon his flanks.

25 He stretches out his hand against God 

and attacks the Almighty like a warrior. 

26 He stubbornly charges at him with a thick shield. 

27 “His face is bloated with fat, 

and he is fat around the waist. 

25 For he has stretched out his hand against God

and has arrogantly opposed the Almighty.

26 He rushes headlong at Him

with his thick, studded shields.

27 Though his face is covered with fat

and his waistline bulges with it,

25 Because they stretched out their hands against God

and bid defiance to the Almighty,

26 running stubbornly against him

with a thickly bossed shield;

27 because they have covered their faces with their fat

and gathered fat upon their loins,

25 Because he stretched out his hand against God,

and he was arrogant to Shaddai;

26 he stubbornly runs against him

with his thick-bossed shield.

27 “Because he has covered his face with his fat

and has gathered fat upon his loins,

25 They shake their fists at God.

They brag about themselves and oppose the Mighty One.

26 They boldly charge against him

with their thick, strong shields.

27 “Their faces are very fat.

Their stomachs hang out.

25 Because he has stretched out his hand against God

And conducts himself arrogantly against the Almighty.

26 “He rushes headlong at Him

With his massive shield.

27 “For he has covered his face with his fat

And made his thighs heavy with flesh.
