Thus did Job continually, 1825, William Blake, British, 1757–1827, 7 3/4 x 6 1/2 in. (19.69 x 16.51 cm) (sheet), Engraving, England, 19th century, In plate one, Job and his family are still in the pastoral state of Innocence and shown at their evening prayers. Job is basically a good man, although he never recognized the true God. A Gothic church to the left represents his spiritual wealth; to the right, the flocks and barns represent his material wealth. Job fears God instead of loving him as a friend and deepest of all is his secret pride which must be humbled.
