Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 31:14

14. What then shall I do when God riseth up ? and when he visiteth , what shall I answer him ?

To wit, to plead the Cause of the Oppressed against the Oppressor, and to execute judgment, as this Phrase is used, Psalm 68 1. Zach. 2. 13. and elsewhere. I used my Servant like one who was also my self a Servant and had a Master in Heaven, Col. 4. 1. to whom I was to give an account of my carriage to my Servant and to all men.

i. e. When he shall call me to his Tribunal, and severely examine all my actions, and particularly the Cause between me and my servant.

What Apology shall I make for my self?

Marginal references: Psal. 44 21.
