caption_attribution_description: English: Job Confessing His Presumption to God Who Answers from the Whirlwind, object 1 (Butlin 461)
context_page_description: William Blake's Illustrations of the Book of Job primarily refers to a series of twenty-two engraved prints by Blake illustrating the biblical Book of Job. It also refers to two earlier sets of watercolours by Blake on the same subject. The engraved Illustrations are considered to be Blake's greatest masterpieces in the medium of engraving, and were also a rare commercial and critical success for Blake.
context_section_description: Blake did not give titles to the illustrations and the most prominent text in the margins is used by some scholars (such as S. Foster Damon) as a title for a given illustration. Others, such as Robert Essick, use descriptive titles. Therefore, both are given here. In some cases the titles are the same.
  Note that Blake's marginal texts are paraphrases of biblical passages and so will not be exactly identical to the linked verse.
