9A smoke arose out of his nostrils, and a fire from his mouth shall devour: coals were kindled from him.A smoke arose out of his nosethrels, and a fyre from his mouth shal deuoure: coles were kindled from him.Ascendit fumus de naribus ejus, et ignis de ore ejus vorabit : carbones succensi sunt ab eo.
