Proverbs 14:22
Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
KJV
Errant qui operantur malum ; misericordia et veritas præparant bona.
Vulgate
πλανώμενοι τεκταίνουσι κακά, ἔλεον δὲ καὶ ἀλήθειαν τεκταίνουσιν ἀγαθοί· οὐκ ἐπίστανται ἔλεον καὶ πίστιν τέκτονες κακῶν, ἐλεημοσύναι δὲ καὶ πίστεις παρὰ τέκτοσιν ἀγαθοῖς.
LXX
Do they not err that devise evil? But mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
