“His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.”
God continues 'His breath kindles coals, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.' This verse reiterates and elaborates the fire emanating from Leviathan. The breath kindles coals; the mouth produces flame. The creature is essentially a being of fire, despite being a water creature. The repetition of the fire imagery suggests its importance in understanding Leviathan. The creature is presented as dangerous and destructive, a being of consuming fire.
