A Ruined Man Clutches Bread in an Abandoned Town

Prompt

Job 15: Eliphaz describes the wicked man who stretched out his hand against God: he dwells in desolate cities, in houses that no one inhabits, ready to become heaps; he wanders for bread, and the flame dries up his branches. A once-rich man in a torn, dust-stained purple robe and tarnished gold bracelets stands large and central in the empty street of a ruined, abandoned town, clutching a single crust of bread, his face haunted with dread; around him roofless mud-brick houses crumble into heaps and a scorched, leafless vine clings to a wall. A hot east wind blows dust through bright, harsh afternoon sunlight. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
