Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 12 of Proverbs. The section contrasts productive work with chasing fantasies and shows how words can wound or heal. One who speaks rashly can cause harm like a sword, while the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truth endures, but falsehood is temporary. Wisdom therefore appears as a discipline both of economic actions and of everyday communication.

Die, so Böses raten, betrügen; aber die zum Frieden raten, schaffen Freude.
Engaño hay en el corazón de los que piensan mal: Mas alegría en el de los que piensan bien.
La tromperie est dans le coeur de ceux qui méditent le mal, Mais la joie est pour ceux qui conseillent la paix.
Inganno è nel cuor di coloro che macchinano del male; Ma vi è allegrezza per quelli che consigliano pace
No coração dos que maquinam o mal há engano, mas os que aconselham a paz têm alegria.
圖謀惡事的,心存詭詐; 勸人和睦的,便得喜樂。
