Ezekiel Faces the Elders Who Kept Idols in Their Hearts

Prompt

Ezekiel 14: certain elders of Israel come and sit before Ezekiel, men who have set up their idols in their hearts. Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, sits large and central on a low bench inside his simple mud-brick house in Tel-abib, leaning forward with a searching, grave expression; facing him sit three bearded elders of the exiles in rich striped mantles, outwardly pious, one secretly fingering a small carved clay household idol hidden in the folds of his robe. Warm afternoon light falls through a small window. 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.
