What the Bible says about Job had a Hard Heart
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Job 27:1-6 What a hard heart Job had! When he looked in the mirror, he saw a paragon of virtue, the ultimate in righteousness. In introducing him, God calls him "blameless and upright" (Job 1:1), but a deeper study into his character shows that, while he may have stuck fastidiously to the letter of the law, he was terribly proud of how righteous he was. He was so uber-righteous that he offered sacrifices for his children, just in case they may have sinned (Job 1:5). All things considered, Job was indeed a good man, but when God looked at him, He saw something that Job missed. Richard T.
