Deception » Deceivers
You destroy those who tell lies;
The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
For many deceivers [heretics, posing as Christians] have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge and confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh (bodily form). This [person, the kind who does this] is the deceiver and the antichrist [that is, the antagonist of Christ].
Verse Concepts
But You, O God, will bring down the wicked to the pit of destruction;
Men of blood and treachery will not live out half their days.
But I will [boldly and unwaveringly] trust in You.
A truthful witness saves lives,
But he who speaks lies is treacherous.
Like a madman who casts firebrands, arrows, and death, So is the man who deceives his neighbor and then says, Was I not joking?
The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.
“Cursed is the one who does the work of the Lord negligently,
And cursed is the one who restrains his sword from blood [in executing the judgment of the Lord].
“But cursed is the swindler who has a male in his flock and vows [to offer] it, but sacrifices to the Lord a blemished or diseased thing! For I am a great King,” says the Lord of hosts, “and My name is to be [reverently and greatly] feared among the nations.”
