22 Plans fail for lack of counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed.
Proverbs Club Commentary
You cannot get too much good advice.
It is too easy to be overconfident.
See “The 10th Man Rule” from World War Z.
“Most of us view the world as more benign than it really is,
our own attributes as more favorable than they truly are,
and the goals we adopt as more achievable than they are likely to be.
We also tend to exaggerate our ability to forecast the future,
which fosters overconfidence.”

But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.

The Righteous walk the Narrow Path with kindness and fealty.

22 A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children,
but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous.
Proverbs Club Commentary
The wise leave an inheritance to their grandchildren.
The wicked leave everything to the wise.
So wise up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.

22 The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in people who are trustworthy.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Liars are easy to detect over time.
Half-Truthers are more treacherous.
The Virtuous are respected by God and man.
