Did Jesus exclude Noah and Job when he said that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God?

Genesis 6:9, "...Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God."

Job 1:1, 8, "In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil... Then the LORD said to Satan, 'Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.' "

Romans 3:23, "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God..."

According to Genesis and Job, both Noah and Job were righteous men in God's sight. Does this mean that they still fell short of the glory of God, according to Romans?


        "Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth." (Ecclesiastes 7:3-4, KJV)
        "Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 8:15, KJV)
