Exegesis
The Hebrew opens with okher {עוֹכֵר | ʿō-ḵēr} ‘one who troubles’, a Qal participle functioning as the subject, followed by the construct noun beito {בֵּ֭יתוֹ | bēṯ-ô} ‘his house’, marking possession.
In context — Proverbs 11:29
He who troubles his own house will inherit the wind , and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
