Was Job Arrogant?

In today's OYCB reading, I find Job just a bit arrogant.  Although Job said some things that I am sure are right, it also seems clear he said some things that were just wrong.  But mostly I noticed his insistence that he was pure and just.

Maybe Job was indeed pure and just!  Its just that his tone in his defense in today's reading rings of pride rather than humility.  I find myself anxious to get to God's response!

Father, I don't know what to make of Job and his situation.  It is confusing to say the least.  However, I did notice an attitude i Job's response today that sounded to me like pure pride and arrogance.  Help me to understand and learn from Job's situation.
