Prompt

Ezekiel 22: the house of Israel is become dross, gathered into the midst of the furnace like silver, brass, tin, iron and lead to be melted in the fire of the LORD's wrath. Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, stands large and central beside a roaring clay smelting furnace in a refiner's workshop, gazing into it with sorrow as a refiner works the bellows; inside the glowing furnace a crucible of molten metal blazes, its surface covered with dark dross. Golden firelight on their faces, warm daylight through the open doorway behind. 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.
