Job 41:12

12 His breath is live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

Job 41:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 41:12

I will not conceal his parts
The parts of the leviathan; or "his bars", the members of his body, which are like bars of iron:

nor his power;
which is very great, whether of the crocodile or the whale:

nor his comely proportion;
the symmetry of his body, and the members of it; which, though large, every part is in just proportion to each other.

Job 41:12 In-Context

10 Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.

11 Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals.

12 His breath is live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

13 And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs.

14 The flesh also of his body is joined together: pours upon him, he shall not be moved.
