God not only called Job blameless and full of integrity, but also He referred to Job as the finest man in all the earth. WOW!!

Then the Lord asked Satan, “Have you noticed my servant Job? He is the finest man in all the earth. He is blameless—a man of complete integrity. He fears God and stays away from evil. And he has maintained his integrity, even though you urged me to harm him without cause.”
