'With Dreams upon my bed thou scarest me & affrightest me with Visions', 1825. 'Why do you persecute me as God & are not satisfied with my flesh. Oh that my words were printed in a Book that they were graven with an iron pen & lead in the rock for ever For I know that my Redeemer liveth & that he shall stand in the latter days upon the Earth & after my skin destroy thou This body yet in my flesh shall I see God whom I shall see for Myself and mine eyes shall behold & not Another tho consumed be my wrought Image Who opposeth & exalteth himself above all that is called God or is Worshipped'. From "Illustrations of The Book of Job Invented & Engraved by William Blake" [London: 1825].
