Job 15:26

Judgment

24 Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.

25 For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,

rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.

27 Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,

28 he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
