Job

Think of how Job changed his opinion of himself and God--how he was exposed in that he was not quite as righteous in his eyes as he thought he was and his knowledge of God was not as superior as he believed it to be--and how his many reasonings of self justification and arguments testifying to the solidity of his righteousness fell to pieces upon finding himself in the very immediate presence of God. His revised knowledge of himself and God is voiced in these words: "I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my every see you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes" (Job 42:5,6).
