Here is another way how the Bible link the word "deceived" to mean stretch out or entrap.
When you have been 'set up" then your trap
What? A Booby trap?
A booby trap is a device or setup that is intended to kill, harm or surprise a person, unknowingly triggered by the presence or actions of the victim. As the word trap implies, they sometimes have some form of bait designed to lure the victim towards it. At other times, the trap is set to act upon trespassers that violate personal or restricted areas. The device can be triggered when the victim performs some type of everyday action e.g. opening a door, picking something up or switching something on. They can also be triggered by vehicles driving along a road as in the case of victim-operated improvised explosive devices (IED's).

Really ? So you are saying that seting up an idol in his heart, in this context, is not worshipping an idol, but is that person litteraly seting up a trap in the shape of an idol inside his own heart ? Man, you are getting too far here. For the sake of making sure i checked other versions of the bible to see how this passage was translated. Most of them do not use ''set up in his heart'' in ezek 14:7 but ''worshiping''. Check it out yourself. In the context they mean the same. Your disgression about booby traps is plain ridiculous. The passage doesn't talk about God setting up those guys, but about those guys seting up idols in their hearts, worshiping them.
My friend this is yet one more example of you going out of your way to prove yourself right at the expense of truth. You are a living example of confirmation bias.
