Proverbs 15:22

15:22 Plans fail when there is no counsel,

but with abundant advisers they are established.


tn Heb “go wrong” (so NRSV, NLT). The verb is the Hiphil infinitive absolute from פָּרַר, parar, which means “to break; to frustrate; to go wrong” (HALOT 975 s.v. I פרר 2). The plans are made ineffectual or are frustrated when there is insufficient counsel.

sn The proverb says essentially the same thing as 11:14, but differently.
