JOY Proverbs 12:20

Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy.

Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil 
Proverbs 6:12-14  A troublemaker and a villain, who goes about with a corrupt mouth, who winks maliciously with his eye, signals with his feet and motions with his fingers, who plots evil with deceit in his heart--he always stirs up conflict. Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed--without remedy.
Proverbs 24:1-2  Do not envy the wicked, do not desire their company; for their hearts plot violence, and their lips talk about making trouble.
Genesis 6:5-6  The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled.

but those who promote peace have joy 
Romans 14:19  Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
Matthew 5:9  "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
James 3:18  Peacemakers who sow peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
