Proverbs 15:22–23

22 Plans fail for lack of counsel,

but with many advisers they succeed.

23 A person finds joy in giving an apt reply—

and how good is a timely word!

22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed:

But in the multitude of counsellers they are established.

23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth:

And a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

22 Plans go wrong for lack of advice;

many advisers bring success.

23 Everyone enjoys a fitting reply;

it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!

22 Without counsel, plans go awry,

But in the multitude of counselors they are established.

23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,

And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!

22 Plans fail without good advice,

but they succeed with the advice of many others.

23 People enjoy giving good advice.

Saying the right word at the right time is so pleasing.

22 Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed;

But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

23 A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth;

And a word in due season, how good is it!

22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed; but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth; and a word in its season, how good is it!

22 Without advice plans go wrong, 

but with many advisers they succeed. 

23 A person is delighted to hear an answer from his own mouth, 

and a timely word—oh, how good! 

22 Plans fail when there is no counsel,

but with many advisers they succeed.

23 A man takes joy in giving an answer;

and a timely word—how good that is!

22 Without counsel, plans go wrong,

but with many advisers they succeed.

23 To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,

and a word in season, how good it is!

22 Plans go wrong when there is no counsel,

but with many advisors it will succeed.

23 Joy belongs to a man with answers in his mouth,

and a word in its time, how good it is!

22 Plans fail without good advice.

But they succeed when there are many advisers.

23 Joy is found in giving the right answer.

And how good is a word spoken at the right time!

22 Without consultation, plans are frustrated,

But with many counselors they succeed.

23 A man has joy in an apt answer,

And how delightful is a timely word!
