The Hebrew word for "deceit" is "mirmah," which implies treachery and falsehood. This deceit is not merely an external act but is deeply rooted in the individual's heart, indicating a premeditated and intentional disposition towards dishonesty. In the biblical context, the heart is often seen as the seat of thought and intention, suggesting that the person's very core is corrupted. This aligns with the broader scriptural teaching that sin originates from within (Mark 7:21-23). The deceitful heart is contrasted with the pure heart that God desires (Psalm 51:10), emphasizing the need for inner transformation. he devises evil he continually sows discord Parallel Commentaries ...
