There is a perpetual lesson here: deceit sends us the wrong way. This can have the meaning that, when we deceive other people we are already going the wrong way and doing the wrong things. It also means that when other people deceive us, they may send us the wrong way too! Deceit is something that should never happen amongst True Believers.
