Hay engaño en el corazón de los que traman el mal, y gozo en los consejeros de paz.
Enga�o hay en el coraz�n de los que piensan el mal; pero alegr�a en el de los que piensan el bien.
Enga�o hay en el coraz�n de los que piensan mal; mas alegr�a en el de los que piensan bien.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Deceit [is] in the heart of them that imagine evil,.... That secretly devise mischief in their hearts against their neighbours; that plough evil, as the word g signifies, and sow discord among men; and by many artful and deceitful methods promote contention and division, in order to answer some base designs of theirs; but sooner or later they are deceived themselves, are disappointed of their views, the consequence of which is vexation and sorrow;
but to the counsellors of peace [is] joy: such who consult the good of others, who advise to peace, concord, and unity; who seek to cultivate it in their families and neighbourhoods, and in the church of God, in which, if they succeed, they have joy and pleasure; if not, they have a satisfaction, in their own minds and consciences that they have done what is right and good; such have a conscience peace now, and an eternal one hereafter; or, as Aben Ezra calls it, the joy of salvation; see Matthew 5:9.
g חרשי.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The “deceit” of “those who imagine evil” can work nothing but evil to those whom they advise. The “counselors of peace” have joy in themselves, and impart it to others also.
