Job 41:23
21 His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.
22 Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.
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!
25 When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
