Exegesis
The verse employs synonymous parallelism by pairing rabot {רַבּ֣וֹת | rab-bōṯ} ‘many’ with maḥăš-šā-vōṯ {מַחֲשָׁב֣וֹת | maḥăš-šā-vōṯ} ‘thoughts, plans’ in the construct phrase belevish {בְּלֶב־אִ֑ישׁ | bə-lev-ʾîš} ‘in the heart of a man.’
In context — Proverbs 19:21
Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the LORD will stand .
