 {Of all guile} (pantos dolou). From del(935c), to catch with
bait, old word, already seen in  Mt 26:4  Mr 7:22  14:1 . Paul
denounces Elymas as a trickster. {All villainy} (p(8373)(8873)
rh(8369)diourgias). Late compound from 
h(8369)diourgos (
h(8369)dios,
easy, facile, ergon, deed, one who does a thing adroitly and
with ease). So levity in Xenophon and unscrupulousness in
Polybius, Plutarch, and the papyri. Only here in the N.T., though
the kindred word 
h(8369)diourg(886d)a occurs in  Ac 18:14 . With
deadly accuracy Paul pictured this slick rascal. {Thou son of the
devil} (huie diabolou). Damning phrase like that used by Jesus
of the Pharisees in  Joh 8:44 , a slanderer like the diabolos.
This use of son (huios) for characteristic occurs in  Ac 3:25  4:36 , a common Hebrew idiom, and may be used purposely by Paul
in contrast with the name Barjesus (son of Jesus) that Elymas
bore ( 13:6 ). {Enemy of all righteousness} (echthre p(8373)(8873)
dikaiosun(8873)). Personal enemy to all justice, sums up all the
rest. Note triple use of "all" (pantos, p(8373)(8873), p(8373)(8873)), total
depravity in every sense. {Wilt thou not cease?} (ou paus(8869)).
An impatient rhetorical question, almost volitive in force
(Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 874). Note ou, not m(885c), {To pervert}
(diastreph(936e)). Present active participle describing the actual
work of Elymas as a perverter or distorter (see verse  8 ). More
exactly, Wilt thou not cease perverting? {The right ways of the
Lord} (	as hodous tou kuriou tas eutheias). The ways of the
Lord the straight ones as opposed to the crooked ways of men
( Isa 40:4  42:16  Lu 3:5 ). The task of John the Baptist as of
all prophets and preachers is to make crooked paths straight and
to get men to walk in them. This false prophet was making even
the Lord's straight ways crooked. Elymas has many successors.
