Deceit (1):

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 (Mar 7:22, Rom 1:29). The Revised Version (British and American) introduces the word in Pro 14:25, 2Th 2:10; but in such passages as Psa 55:11, Pro 20:17, Pro 26:26, 1Th 2:3, renders a variety of words, more accurately than the King James Version, by "oppression," "falsehood," "guile," "error."
