11:14When there is no guidance39 a nation falls,
but there is success40 in the abundance of counselors.
Footnotes
- 39 The word תַּחְבֻּלוֹת (takhvulot, “guidance; direction”) is derived from the root I חָבַל (khaval, “rope-pulling” and “steering” or “directing” a ship; 286 ). Thus spiritual guidance is like steering a ship, here the ship of state (R. N. Whybray, Proverbs [], 68; Prov 1:5). Advice is necessary for the success of a nation.
- 40 Heb “victory.” This term תְּשׁוּעָה (teshu’ah) means “salvation” or “victory” ( 448 ); cf. , “security”; , “safety.” Here, it connotes “success” as the antithesis of the nation falling. The setting could be one of battle or economics. Victory or success will be more likely with good advice. This assumes that the counselors are wise.
