DECEIT

ISBE

de-set' (mirmah; (dolos)): The intentional misleading or beguiling of another; in Scripture represented as a companion of many other forms of wickedness, as cursing ( Ps 10:7 ), hatred ( Pr 26:24 ), theft, covetousness, adultery, murder ( Mr 7:22 ; Ro 1:29 ). The Revised Version (British and American) introduces the word in Pr 14:25 ; 2Th 2:10 ; but in such passages as Ps 55:11 ; Pr 20:17 ; 26:26 ; 1Th 2:3 , renders a variety of words, more accurately than the King James Version, by "oppression," "falsehood," "guile," "error."
