God lied that Jacob would from now on be called Israel (or he forgot?):
(Genesis 35:10) God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel. So he named him Israel.
(Genesis 46:2) And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, "Jacob! Jacob!" "Here I am," he replied.
Furthermore, he told David that his lineage would rule the kingdom forever (2 Samuel 13 & 16) which never happened.
He told Moses to lie to the Pharaoh: in Exodus 3:18. So, he induces lying and actually is kind to midwives because they lied to the pharaoh (Exodus 1:15).
