Exegesis
The negative condition be’en sod {בְּאֵ֣ין ס֑וֹד | bə-ʾēn sōḏ} ‘in the absence of counsel’ is antithetically paired with the phrase uverov yoatzim {וּבְרֹ֖ב יוֹעֲצִ֣ים | û-bə-rôḇ yō-ʿā-ṣîm} ‘in the abundance of counselors’.
In context — Proverbs 15:22
Plans are frustrated when there is no counsel , but in the multitude of counselors they are established .
