Matthew Henry Commentary Proverbs 11:29

"He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; And the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart." — Proverbs 11:29 (ASV)

He who brings trouble upon himself and his family, by carelessness, or by wickedness, will be unable to keep and enjoy what he gets, as a person is unable to hold the wind, or to satisfy himself with it.
