Contextual Overview

¹¹ Or who hath geuen me any thyng aforehande, that I may rewarde him againe? All thinges vnder heauen are myne. ¹² I wyll not keepe secrete his great strength, his power, nor his comely proportion. ¹³ Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who shall come to him with a double brydle? ¹⁴ Who shall open the doores of his face? for he hath horrible teeth round about. ¹⁵ His scales are as it were strong shieldes, so fastened together as if they were sealed: ¹⁶ One is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can come in: ¹⁷ Yea, one hangeth so vpon another, & sticketh so together, that they can not be sundred. ¹⁸ His neesinges make a glistering like fyre, and his eyes lyke the morning shine. ¹⁹ Out of his mouth go torches, and sparkes of fire leape out. ²⁰ And out of his nostrels there goeth a smoke, lyke as out of an hotte seething pot, or caldron.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron. In which flesh or anything else is boiling. It is observed that there is a likeness between the crocodile and the river horse, and particularly in their breathing u: and of the former it is remarked w, that its nostrils are very large and open, and that they breathe out a fiery smoke, as out of a furnace.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Out of his nostrils goeth smoke - See the quotations on Job 41:19. This appearance of the crocodile, or alligator, has been often noticed. Bertram, in his “Travels in North and South Carolina,” p. 116, says, “While I was seeking a place of rest, I encountered an alligator that in the neighboring lake rushed through the canes that grew on its banks. He inflated his enormous body, and swung his tail high in the air. A thick smoke streamed from his wide-open nostrils, with a sound that made the earth tremble.” Rosenmuller, “Alte u. neue Morgenland,” No. 778.

As out of a seething-pot - A pot that is boiling. Literally, “a blown pot;” that is, a pot under which the fire is blown, or kindled.

Or caldron - Any kettle. The same word is used to denote a reed or bulrush, or a rope made of reeds, Isaiah 9:14; Job 41:1.
