Connection with Jacob the deceiver
Peter is quoting Isaiah 53:9, where the Hebrew for deceit is mirmah, the word Isaac used when Jacob took Esau's blessing by deceit. Jacob's family deceived with borrowed clothes, goatskins and a bride in the dark, and from that family came Jesus, whose every word meant exactly what it said.

When Jesus first saw Nathanael He said, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit" (John 1:47), and the word is dolos. Isaiah had written of the Servant God would send, "nor was any deceit in His mouth" (Isaiah 53:9), with mirmah again, and Peter quoted it of Jesus: "no deceit was found in His mouth" (1 Peter 2:22).
