Exegesis
The verse opens with the noun machashavot {מַ֭חֲשָׁבוֹת | maḥăššāḇōṯ} ‘plans’ functioning as the subject, followed by the instrumental phrase be’etzah {בְּעֵצָה | bə-ʿē-ṣāh} ‘by counsel’, marking the means whereby those plans tikkon {תִכּ֑וֹן | ṯikkōn} ‘are established’, a niphal imperfect conveying a stative passive.
In context — Proverbs 20:18
Plans are established by counsel, and by strategies make war.
