Job 39:20
_ _ make ... afraid — rather, “canst thou (as I do) make him spring as the locust?” So in Joel 2:4, the comparison is between locusts and war-horses. The heads of the two are so similar that the Italians call the locusts cavaletta, “little horse.”
_ _ nostrils — snorting furiously. |
- the glory:
Job 41:20-21 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron. ... His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Jeremiah 8:16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
