Isaiah Beside the Corner Stone in Zion

Prompt

Isaiah 28: Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation... Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet. On the rocky summit of Zion, masons lower a great squared limestone corner stone into place with ropes and wooden levers, while a master builder checks it with a measuring line and a plumb line. The prophet Isaiah stands large and central beside the stone, his hand resting on it, looking out with conviction. Bright clear sunlight, pale stone, blue sky. 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.
