The Key Word — הָפֵ֣ר, ha.Fergenerated
The verb הָפֵ֣ר (ha.Fer) is a Hiphil infinitive construct meaning 'to break' or 'to frustrate'. It conveys the idea of plans being rendered ineffective or coming to nothing when they lack proper guidance.
The passive voice indicates that plans do not simply fail by chance; they are actively frustrated due to the absence of counsel. This highlights the importance of seeking advice to ensure success.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses fail for הָפֵ֣ר and succeed for תָּקֽוּם.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb הָפֵ֣ר governs the structure, indicating that plans fail. It is followed by a prepositional phrase בְּאֵ֣ין (for lack of) and a noun phrase סוֹד (counsel), establishing the conditions for failure.
The second part of the verse introduces a contrasting clause with the conjunction וּבְרֹ֖ב (but with many), leading to a new subject יוֹעֲצִ֣ים (advisers) and the verb תָּקֽוּם (they succeed). This structure emphasizes the importance of advisers in achieving success.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הָפֵ֣ר as ὑπερτίθενται, which suggests a broader interpretation of plans being set aside or overthrown, indicating a more forceful disruption than merely failing.
For סוֹד, the LXX uses συνέδρια, which refers to a council or assembly, emphasizing the communal aspect of seeking advice.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed," using the Hebrew phrase "הָפֵ֣ר מַ֭חֲשָׁבוֹת בְּאֵ֣ין ס֑וֹד וּבְרֹ֖ב יוֹעֲצִ֣ים תָּקֽוּם." The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text in meaning, though its word order and articles differ as it presents the text in Greek. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q103) also align closely with the Masoretic Text, containing the phrases "הפר מחשבות" and "וברב יועצים תקום," but includes some partially restored words and editorial additions. Overall, the primary witnesses show agreement in the core message of the verse, highlighting the importance of counsel in planning.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
