'Righteous' in the Bible

“Can a person be more righteous than God,or a man more pure than his Maker?”

If I am wicked, woe to me!And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.I am filled with shameand aware of my affliction.

I am a laughingstock to my friends,by calling on God, who answers me.The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.

What is man, that he should be pure,or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?

Yet the righteous person will hold to his way,and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger.

Does it delight the Almighty if you are righteous?Does He profit if you perfect your behavior?

The righteous see this and rejoice;the innocent mock them, saying,

he may heap it up, but the righteous will wear it,and the innocent will divide up his silver.

So these three men quit answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

For Job has declared, “I am righteous,yet God has deprived me of justice.

Could one who hates justice govern the world?Will you condemn the mighty Righteous One,

Do you think it is just when you say,“I am righteous before God”?

If you are righteous, what do you give Him,or what does He receive from your hand?

He does not remove His gaze from the righteous,but He seats them forever with enthroned kings,and they are exalted.
