11 Or, who hath geuen me eny thynge afore hande, that I am bounde to rewarde him agayne? All thinges vnder heauen are myne. 12 I feare him not, whether he threaten or speake fayre. 13 Who lifteth him vp and stripeth him out of his clothes, or who taketh him by the bytt of his brydle? 14 Who openeth the dore of his face? for he hath horrible tethe rounde aboute. 15 His body is couered with scales as it were with shyldes, lockte in, kepte, and well copacte together. 16 One is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can come in: 17 Yee one hangeth so vpon another, and sticke so together, that they can not be sundered. 18 His nesinge is like a glisteringe fyre, and his eyes like the mornynge shyne. 19 Out of his mouth go torches and fyre brandes, 20 out off his nostrels there goeth a smoke, like as out off an hote seetinge pott.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
His breath kindles coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. Hyperbolical expressions, which the above observations may seem to justify.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
His breath kindleth coals - It seems to be a flame, and to set on fire all around it. So Hesiod, “Theog.” i. 319, describing the creation of the Chimera, speaks of it as
πνέουσαν ἀμαισάκετον πῦρ
pneousan amaimaketon pur.
“Breathing unquenchable fire,” So Virgil, “Georg.” ii. 140:
Haec loca non tauri spirantes naribus ignem Invertere.
“Bulls breathing fire these furrows ne’er have known.”
Warton
A similar phrase is found in a sublime description of the anger of the Almighty, in Psalms 18:8 :
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,
And fire out of his mouth devoured:
Coals were kindled by it.
