I see that neither the word pride, nor rebellion is used in this passage, but iniquity is.
Ezekiel 28:13-17 (KJV)
[SUP]
13 [/SUP]Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone
was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl,
the * onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle,and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
[SUP]
14 [/SUP]Thou
art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee
so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
[SUP]
15 [/SUP]Thou
wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till
iniquity (5766) was found in thee.
[SUP]
16 [/SUP]By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
[SUP]
17 [/SUP]
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

Matthew 16:4
[SUP]
4 [/SUP]A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Galatians 3:19
[SUP]
19 [/SUP]Wherefore then
serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;

John 5:46-47 (KJV)

John 8:42-45 (KJV)
[SUP]
42 [/SUP]Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

even because ye cannot hear my word.
[SUP]
44 [/SUP]Ye are of
your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
[SUP]
45 [/SUP]And because I tell
you the truth, ye believe me not.
