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 inPr 14:25;2Th 2:10; but in such passages asPs 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."
