Job 41:20 in context

The verses around it, from Job 41.

16 One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.

17 They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.

18 His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.

19 Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth!

20 Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.

21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.

22 Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.

23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.

24 His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!
