Giobbe 41:20 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:20

Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke, as [out] of a seething
pot or caldron.
] In which flesh or anything else is boiling. It is observed that there is a likeness between the crocodile and the river horse, and particularly in their breathing F21: and of the former it is remarked F23, that its nostrils are very large and open, and that they breathe out a fiery smoke, as out of a furnace.

Giobbe 41:20 In-Context

18 I suoi starnuti fanno sfavillar della luce, E i suoi occhi son simili alle palpebre dell’alba.
19 Della sua gola escono fiaccole, Scintille di fuoco ne sprizzano.
20 Delle sue nari esce un fumo, Come d’una pignatta bollente, o d’una caldaia.
21 L’alito suo accende i carboni, E fiamma esce della sua bocca.
22 La possa alberga nel suo collo, E la doglia tresca davanti a lui.
