inherit the wind

Proverbs http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Pro&c=11#s=t_conc_639029

11:29 עֹוכֵ֣ר בֵּ֭יתֹו יִנְחַל־ר֑וּחַ וְעֶ֥בֶד אֱ֝וִ֗יל לַחֲכַם־לֵֽב׃

11:29 ὁ μὴ συμπεριφερόμενος τῷ ἑαυτοῦ οἴκῳ κληρονομήσει ἄνεμον δουλεύσει δὲ ἄφρων φρονίμῳ

21st Century King James Version (KJ21) 
11:29 He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind, and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

I finally read the play.  What caught my attention was how two friends drifted away from each other and somehow were not able to connect with the other across the divide.  In looking at this from a conflict resolution view, one thing might have been to seek an area where both could agree they found value.   Would it be a reminder of the value of family (and somebody needs to talk to the pastor:  even Brady thought he went too far condemning his own daughter) ?    A search for a goal of "justice",  or "truth" ?
