Apologetics: Does God deceive people?

Text

Proverbs 30:5

1 Kings 22:20-23

2 Chronicles 18:19-22

Jeremiah 4:10

Jeremiah 8:8

Jeremiah 20:7

Ezekiel 14:7-9

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

Problem

Proverbs 30:5 and other passages say that God is trustworthy and does not lie, yet in the other texts God seems to be deceiving people.
