The image depicts a black-and-white engraving of a scene from William Blake's "The Book of Job." The engraving is set within a rectangular frame, surrounded by a border that features text. At the top of the border, the words "And there came a Midrifter unto Job, and said the Ouen were plowing & the Salomons came down & they have done that the Young Men walk & said" are inscribed. Below this, the engraving itself is centered, showing Job and his wife sitting on the ground, with Job's wife covering her face in distress. A figure is depicted in the act of escaping from a burning building, with flames rising from the roof. The figure is shown in mid-air, with their arms outstretched and their legs bent at the knees. The background of the engraving is dark and ominous, with clouds and smoke billowing from the burning building. At the bottom of the border, the words "And I only am escaped alone to tell thee" are written. Below this, the text continues: "While he was yet speaking there came also another & said The fire of God is fallen from heaven & hath burned up the flocks & the Young Men & consumed them & I only am escaped alone to tell thee." The overall atmosphere of the image is one of chaos and destruction, with the burning building and the figure's desperate attempt to escape creating a sense of urgency and danger. The use of dark colors and dramatic composition adds to the sense of drama and tension, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure and the devastating scene unfolding before them.
