Holy Scripture

Job 41:20

A church father on this verse
“Out of his nostrils goeth smoke. As of a heated and boiling pot. 61. For the sight of the eyes is pained by smoke. Smoke is therefore said to go out of his nostrils; because by the craft of his miracles a darkening doubt is generated for an instant even in the heart of the Elect. A smoke goes out of the mouth of Levia…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXXIII

In context

18If spears should come against him, men will effect nothing, Either with the spear or the breastplate.

19For he considers iron as chaff, And brass as rotten wood.

— Job 41:20 —

21Mauls are counted as stubble; And he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand.

22His lair is formed of sharp points; And all the gold of the sea under him is as an immense quantity of clay.
