Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;
a wandering, a straying about, whereby one, led astray from the right way, roams hither and thither. In the New Testament metaphorically mental straying, that is error, wrong opinion relative to morals or religion: Ephesians 4:14, 1 Thessalonians 2:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:11; 2 Peter 2:18; 2 Peter 3:17; 1 John 4:6; Judges 1:11 (514-1-4106).
