Job 15:27

otherwise through fatness the eyes are almost enclosed: or "it goes forth out of the fatness of their eyes" ; that is, either "pride", which shows itself in haughty looks and scornful airs, through the abundance possessed; or "violence", seen in the fierceness of the eyes, and fury of the countenance; or "their eyes go out through fatness" that is, through the plenty they enjoy, their eyes go out in lust after lawful objects:they have more than heart could wish; that they themselves could have wished for heretofore, though not now; for what is it that a worldly covetous heart cannot and does not wish for?

if it had all the world, it would not satisfy it: or "the imaginations of the heart go on" ; that is, after more, not being content with such things as they have; or "they", i.e. their pride and violence,exceed the imaginations of the heart ; they are more than can be conceived of, they overpass the deeds of the wicked, or "they transgress by the imaginations of the heart" ; which are evil, and that continually.
