Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:
Hypocrite one who puts on a mask and feigns himself to be what he is not; a dissembler in religion. Our Lord severely rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy (Matt. 6:2, 5, 16). "The hypocrite's hope shall perish" (Job 8:13). The Hebrew word here rendered "hypocrite" rather means the "godless" or "profane," as it is rendered in Jer. 23:11, i.e., polluted with crimes.
The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906):
HYPOCRITE, n. One who, profession virtues that he does not respect secures the advantage of seeming to be what he despises.
