They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.

Job 41:14–20
14
Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth is terror.

Strong scales are his pride,
shut up together with a close seal.

One is so near to another,
that no air can come between them.

Selected verse
They are joined to one another.
They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.

His sneezing flashes out light.
His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

Out of his mouth go burning torches.
Sparks of fire leap out.

Out of his nostrils a smoke goes,
as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
