SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:22

¶ ¿No yerran los que piensan mal? Pero los que piensan bien alcanzarán misericordia y verdad.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 22. Do they not err that devise evil ? etc.] Certainly they do; they go astray from the right way, from the word of truth, from the Gospel of Christ, who contrive schemes to commit sin, and do mischief to their neighbours; or who “plough” it, and sow it, and expect a fine harvest; but they will be mistaken, and find it will not turn to account, and that they have took a wrong course, and have gone out of the way: none more mischievous devisers or contrivers of evil than the Papists, and none more sadly and fatally err; but mercy and truth [shall be] to them that devise good ; who devise liberal things, to do good to the poor and needy; to their neighbours, their fellow creatures and fellow Christians: such receive grace and “mercy” at the hands of God, and his “truth” will appear in making good all promises to them; mercy and truth will preserve them from the evil way, and guide them in the right way, so that they shall not err as others do; neither from the doctrines of grace and truth, nor from the practice of them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 22 - How wisely those consult their own interest, who not only do good, but devise it!
