Thou hast fulfilled the Judgment of the Wicked, 1825, William Blake, British, 1757–1827, 7 3/4 x 6 7/16 in. (19.69 x 16.35 cm) (sheet), Engraving, England, 19th century, Satan the Accuser is cast out of Job's heaven, and with him fall the errors of Job and his wife. They fall into the flames of annihilation-not of everlasting torture, for Blake did not believe in such a hell. Error is recognized is Error destroyed. God is again seated firmly on his throne; he still holds his book, for Law is essential to life; but his halo now contains figures of love and pity, whose attitudes are repeated by the two attendant angels. The fall of Satan has opened a gulf between Job and his friends.
