- Job 15:35
They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb is pregnant with deceit.”
Commentary on Job 15:351 voice
Ver. 35. They conceive woe, and bring forth iniquity, and their womb prepareth deceit. For he conceives 'woe,' when he devises wicked things; he 'brings forth iniquity,' when he has begun to fulfil what he has devised; by entertaining envy, he 'conceives woe;' by uttering slanders, he 'brings forth iniquity.' For it is grievous wickedness when he who is wicked strives to make others appear wicked, that he may himself thereby appear as holy, because he has shewn that others are not holy.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XII, 604Patristic
- Job 27:4
my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
Commentary on Job 27:42 voices
And so he says, "my lips will not speak evil," in saying everyone who suffers adversities is evil, "nor will my tongue practice deceit," in saying that it belongs to divine justice to reward the merits of the just by present prosperity and to punish …
Thomas Aquinas· Commentary on Job, 1274Patristic
All the while my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God is in my nostrils, my lips shall not speak iniquity, nor my tongue meditate falsehood. What he first calls 'iniquity,' this repeating afterwards he calls 'falsehood.' For both all 'falsehood' is 'iniquity,' and all 'iniquity' 'falsehood,' because, whatever thing is at variance with truth is surely at odds with equity. But between this which he expresses, 'to speak' and that which he adds afterwards, to 'meditate,' there is a wide difference. For sometimes it is a worse thing to 'meditate' falsehood than to speak it.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XVIII, 604Patristic
- Job 31:5
If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit,
Commentary on Job 31:51 voice
If I have walked in vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit, let Him weigh me in an even balance, and let God know mine integrity. 'God to know' is said for His making us to know by a customary mode of our speech, who speak of 'a happy day,' by which it happens that we are made happy. For hence it is the Lord saith to Abraham, Now I know that thou fearest God.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXI, 604Patristic
- Psalms 5:6
You destroy those who tell lies; the LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
Commentary on Psalms 5:61 voice
Thou wilt destroy all who speak a lie. I see a new thing. He who works evil is held in hatred; he who lies, perishes. Let us see which is more, to be held in hatred by the Lord, or to perish. He who is held in hatred by God is indeed unhappy, because he is held in hatred by the Lord: but he still lives. But he who speaks a lie and perishes, has already ceased to be.
Jerome· Homily 2, on Psalm 5, 420Patristic
- Psalms 10:7
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
Commentary on Psalms 10:71 voice
His wickedness is described as a two-fold corruption, for in his mouth he will have a blasphemous cursing when he makes the false claim that he is the Son of God. He will also have bitterness when he imposes the death penalty on those who …
Cassiodorus· Explanation of the Psalms 10:28, 585Patristic
- Psalms 24:4
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.
Commentary on Psalms 24:41 voice
"The innocent." And first he shows this in general. Second, in particular: "This is the generation." Concerning the first he does two things. First he proposes the merit. Second, the reward, at "He shall receive." In the merit there is one thing that pertains to …
Thomas Aquinas· Exposition on the Psalms of David, 1274Patristic
- Psalms 24:5
He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.
- Psalms 32:2
Blessed is the man whose iniquity the LORD does not count against him, in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Commentary on Psalms 32:21 voice
Although he is a sinner, he does not proclaim that he is entirely holy; sin is a sickness by which humanity is grievously afflicted, but instead he acknowledges his transgressions and constantly perseveres in humble satisfaction. For the one who is not pleasing to himself …
Cassiodorus· EXPLANATION OF THE PSALMS 32:2, 585Patristic
- Psalms 35:20
For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
Commentary on Psalms 35:201 voice
They make a pretense by uttering words under the guise of peace, but in reality their words are completely full of anger and evil. All the words, in fact, were not of peace, though they seemed to give that impression; rather, they were spoken with …
Theodore of Mopsuestia· COMMENTARY ON PSALMS 35:20, 428Patristic
- Psalms 36:3
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
Commentary on Psalms 36:31 voice
What shall I say about Judas the traitor, who sought after greed and found sacrilege, saying: What will you give me, and I will hand him over to you (Matt. XXVI, 15)? Not satisfied with looting the spoils of the poor, he reached the fullness of the gravest crimes by committing crimes, mixing the sacraments of charity with wicked acts, when he said: He whom I shall kiss, he is: hold him (Ibid., 48); so that there can be no doubt that what was said about him is true: The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit.
Ambrose of Milan· Commentaries on the Twelve Davidic Psalms, 397Patristic
- Psalms 38:12
Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.
Commentary on Psalms 38:121 voice
People who cling to evil thoughts do not stand for truth but for falsehood. They do not stand for righteousness but for iniquity, because their tongue learns to speak lies. They have done evil, never pausing so that they could repent. Persevering with delight in wicked actions, they run to them without even looking back. They even tread underfoot the commandment about neighbors, and instead of loving them, they plot evil against them. As the ancient saint testifies, "Those who plot evil against me have spoken lies and plan treachery all day long."
Athanasius of Alexandria· FESTAL LETTERS 9:4, 373Patristic
- Psalms 43:1
Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.
Commentary on Psalms 43:11 voice
In the preceding Psalm, David narrated his desire; now he applies prayer to fulfill that desire. And first he sets forth the prayer; second, its effect, at "why are you sorrowful?" Concerning the first he does two things. First he proposes the prayer in general; …
Thomas Aquinas· Exposition on the Psalms of David, 1274Patristic
- Psalms 55:23
But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
Commentary on Psalms 55:231 voice
But thou, O God, shall bring them down,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Psalms 72:14
He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
Commentary on Psalms 72:141 voice
He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Psalms 101:7
No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence.
- Psalms 119:118
You reject all who stray from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is in vain.
Commentary on Psalms 119:1181 voice
Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes,.... That wander from the way of the Lord's commandments; that deviate from his precepts, go astray constantly and wilfully; a people that err in their hearts, and with all their hearts.
