With a strong hand, God grabs my shirt.
He grips me by the collar of my coat.Job 30:18 (NLT)
I have a picture in my mind of a black and white film noir gangster movie. The heavy has the little guy grabbing his shirt collar and lifting him into the air and saying "you dirty little rat." That's how Job sees God handling him. God may be lifting Job up, but I think it's more for Job's protection. "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
