Job 41:19
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.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
