The Book of Job: Pl. 10, The just upright man is laughted to scorn
Black and white illustration of a man with long hair and a beard sitting on the ground, surrounded by three other figures. The central figure has his head on the lap of a woman on his left. A man on his right extends his arm towards him in a pointing gesture. Behind them is a wall on the left and a mountainous landscape. The scene is framed by a decorative border with a bird on each side at the bottom. Above the image, four lines of text read: "But he knoweth the way that I take / when he hath tried me I shall come forth like gold / Have pity upon me: Have pity upon me: O ye my friends / for the hand of God hath touched me / Though he slay me yet will I trust in him". Below the image, a title reads "The Just Upright Man is laughed to scorn" and four additional lines of text. The overall design resembles an old book page.
