They didn't deceive him. Everything they said came true, in a sense. They may well have known that he would take the prophecies about Birnam Wood and someone "of woman born" in the way he did, but let's face it, he took it that way because it was what he wanted to hear. Macbeth could not feel safe as king, and was constantly afraid that he had taught bloody instructions which, being taught, would return to plague the inventor, as he had predicted in Act I Scene 7. So in order to try to calm his fears he grasps at the witches' predictions, but it doesn't work, because he continues to be afraid and paranoid anyway.
