To make intricate; to involve; to entangle; to make complicated and difficult to be understood or unraveled. What was thought obscure, perplexed and too hard for our weak parts, will lie open to the understanding in a fair view.

To embarrass; to puzzle; to distract; to tease with suspense, anxiety or ambiguity. We can distinguish no general truths, or at least shall be apt to perplex the mind. We are perplexed, but not in despair. 2 Corinthians 4:8.

To plague; to vex.

Intricate; difficult.
