Now lets get started. Passage Number 1. The first
verse on the subject of Deceit is Proverbs chapter 26, verses 23 through 28. It says:
Like silver dross on an earthen vessel are the lips of a fervent one with an evil heart.
A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.
When his speech is charming, don’t believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.
His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone,
it will come back on him. A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Passage Number 2. The second verse in our study of Deceit is found in Jeremiah chapter 9,
verses 4 through 9. It says: “Everyone beware of his neighbor,
and don’t trust in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every
neighbor will go around like a slanderer. Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth.
They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves committing iniquity.
Your habitation is in the middle of deceit. Through deceit, they refuse to know me,” says
Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, I will melt them and test them; for how should I
deal with the daughter of my people? Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit.
One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart,
he waits to ambush him. Shouldn’t I punish them for these things?” says Yahweh. “Shouldn’t my
soul be avenged on a nation such as this? Passage Number 3. For our third verse,
we turn in our Bible to Jeremiah chapter 17, verse 9. It reads:
The heart is deceitful above all things and it is exceedingly corrupt. Who can know it?
Passage Number 4. This is from Psalm chapter 5, verses 4 through 6. The scripture says:
For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness.
Evil can’t live with you. The arrogant will not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of
iniquity. You will destroy those who speak lies. Yahweh abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
Passage Number 5. The fifth verse is from John chapter 8, verses 42 through 47. The Bible says:
Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have
come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me. Why don’t you understand my speech?
Because you can’t hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires
of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own;
for he is a liar, and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? He who is of
God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

Deceit. Passage Number 6 is from Colossians chapter 3, verses 5 through 10. It says:
Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness,
depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
You also once walked in those, when you lived in them, but now you must put them all away: anger,
wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth. Don’t lie to one another, seeing
that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed
in knowledge after the image of his Creator, . Passage Number 7. The seventh verse is found
in Hebrews chapter 3, verses 12 through 13. The Bible says:
Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief,
in falling away from the living God; but exhort one another day by day,
so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Passage Number 8. The eighth verse on the subject of Deceit is from Micah chapter 6,
verses 10 through 13. It reads: Are there yet treasures of wickedness in
the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed? Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and
a bag of deceitful weights? Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their
tongue is deceitful in their speech. Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound.
I have made you desolate because of your sins. Passage Number 9. Our ninth verse is from
Ephesians chapter 4, verses 22 through 25. The passage states:
that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after
the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man,
who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor,
for we are members of one another. Passage Number 10. Our tenth and
final verse on the subject of Deceit is from Genesis chapter 3, verses 1 through 5. It says:
Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made.
He said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat of any tree of the garden’?”
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, but not
the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, ‘You shall not eat of
it. You shall not touch it, lest you die.’” The serpent said to the woman, “You won’t really die,
for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,
knowing good and evil.” This concludes our Bible study on the topic of Deceit.
