SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:29
¶ El que turba su casa heredará viento; y el loco será siervo del sabio de corazón.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 11:29
Verse 29. Shalt inherit the wind ] He who dissipates his property by riotous living, shall be as unsatisfied as he who attempts to feed upon air.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. He that troubleth his own house , etc.] His family, his wife, and children, and servants; by being bitter to the one, and by provoking the others to wrath, and continually giving out menacing words to the rest; or through idleness, not providing for his family; or through an over worldly spirit, pushing on business, and hurrying it on beyond measure; or through a niggardly and avaricious temper, withholding meat and drink, and clothes convenient for them; see ( Proverbs 15:27); or through profuseness and prodigality. Such an one shall inherit the wind ; nothing but vanity and emptiness; he shall come to nothing, and get nothing; and what he does, be shall not keep, and on which he cannot live; and the fool [shall be] servant to the wise of heart ; he who has both got and lost his substance in a foolish way shall be so reduced as to become a servant to him who has pursued wise measures, both in getting and keeping what he has; and to whom perhaps the fool formerly stood in the relation of a master. Such a change will be with respect to antichrist and the saints, ( Daniel 7:25-27).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29 - He that brings trouble upon himself and his family, by carelessness, or by wickedness, shall be unable to keep and enjoy what he gets, as a ma is unable to hold the wind, or to satisfy himself with it.
