If the man who was said by God to be perfect and upright needed to repent under the awesome reality of of who God is then we ought to never think so highly of ourselves that we have no need for repentance. That pride alone needs to be repented of. And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Job 1:8 Then Job answered the Lord , and said, I know that thou canst do every thing , and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself , and repent in dust and ashes. Job 42:1-6 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed...pride...Mark 7:20-22 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. Proverbs 16:5 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. Proverbs 21:4 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18
