Deception » Deceivers
You destroy those who speak falsehood. Jehovah abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
For many deceivers have gone into the world. They do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Curse those who do not do Jehovah's work with all their heart! Curse those who do not slash and kill!
The cheater who sacrifices a worthless animal to me will be cursed. For he has in his flock a good animal that he promised to give me! I am a great King, Jehovah of Hosts declares. People of all nations will respect my name!
