Joshua 9:4

Jos 9:4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;

Ver. 4. They did work wilily. ] They exercised a serpentine subtilty, and dealt fraudulently, as Genesis 3:1 ; but where was their columbine simplicity? Mat 10:16 They strain hard to save their lives. But a man should rather die than lie.
