Job 41:20

Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron.

Out of his nostrils {H5156} goeth {H3318} smoke {H6227}, as out of a seething {H5301} pot {H1731} or caldron {H100}.

His nostrils belch steam like a caldron boiling on the fire.

Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.

Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and burning rushes.
