In the Old Testament, the prophet Job was rebuked by the LORD for maintaining his own righteousness when God took his posessions and weath.  In the New Testament, a rich young ruler told [[Jesus]] that he had kept all of the commandments from his youth;  however, he was troubled when Jesus asked him to sell all his posessions and follow Jesus.  This ruler did not understand that righteousness is only found in following Jesus, the Word.  William Branham taught that Jesus referred to this same man in the parable of the rich man calling to Abraham from hell, asking for Lazarus to bring some relief from his torment, and warning to his family.
