Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.
עֲֽ֭טִישֹׁתָיו תָּ֣הֶל א֑וֹר וְ֝עֵינָ֗יו כְּעַפְעַפֵּי־שָֽׁחַר׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
According to certain beliefs, sneezing serves to refresh one’s mind. Similarly, when the adversary takes on the appearance of light, he falsely claims the ability to purify. Likewise, practitioners of sorcery engage in acts of supposed cleansing, driven by their obsession and impurity. They make the pretense of possessing the truth of light, even though they remain entirely unclean.
Though Job acknowledges his lack of understanding, the Lord once more bids him to perceive a portrayal of divine power and authority. To illustrate the insignificance and frailty of humanity, God challenges him to don all his splendor and measure himself against some earthly being, a creation of God's hands. For instance, God brings attention to the hippopotamus—more aptly, the elephant—an immense creature among land animals, distinguished by its vast size, formidable strength, and boldness; yet, paradoxically, it can also exhibit gentleness and become vulnerable to hunters.
In sharp contrast, another giant of the waters, Leviathan, or the crocodile, embodies a fierce nature; it is not subject to capture by fishermen and is fearsome in combat. The construction of its jaws, the robust armor of its scales, its muscular power, and its swift movements all come together in this creature, affirming its status as the most intrepid beast and sovereign of the waters.
