Exegesis
The conjunction waw begins an adversative clause with ve-eved {וְעֶ֥בֶד | wə-ʿe-ḇeḏ} ‘and a servant’, setting up a contrast; the noun evil {אֱ֝וִ֗יל | ’ĕ-vîl} ‘fool’ precedes the construct phrase lachakam-lev {לַחֲכַם־לֵֽב | la-ḥă-ḵam-lēḇ} ‘to the wise of heart’, marking the beneficiary. This parallelism underscores that causing disturbance leads to emptiness, whereas folly results in subservience to the wise.
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.
