Job 41:22
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.
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!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
