Notice that the first clause says he is blameless or perfect and the second says that he feared God. If the first POV is NOT that of men, that men saw him as perfect, THEN the second clause is redundant. There is absolutely nothing in Job 1:1 to suggest it is a man's POV. It is stated as truth, a matter of fact that Job is perfect (blameless), that he feared God and that he shunned (eschewed) evil. Fearing God is consistent with an unpright believer.

Then what is your explanation of the verse since we know that the Bible teaches that all have sinned?
