Smoke out of his nostrils; as is usual in persons transported with great anger and rage. He manifestd his great displeasure against my adversaries. Coals were kindled by it; which notes the fervency, constancy, and efficacy of his anger.

Psalms 18:8

8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,d and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
