This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
thou hast ... deceived - God, having even the false prophets in His hands, is here said to do that which for inscrutable purposes He permits them to do (Exo 9:12; 2Th 2:11; compare Jer 8:15; which passage shows that the dupes of error were self-prepared for it, and that God’s predestination did not destroy their moral freedom as voluntary agents). The false prophets foretold “peace,” and the Jews believed them; God overruled this to His purposes (Jer 5:12; Jer 14:13; Eze 14:9).
soul - rather, “reacheth to the life.”
