What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him, establishing the theological foundation: if Job has mistreated servants, how could he answer God's judgment? The rising of God suggests divine action in judgment. The visitation suggests divine examination. The question about answering suggests that Job recognizes accountability before God. The verse appeals to the principle that how one treats the vulnerable determines how God will judge.
