He who troubles his own house will be given the wind, and the foolish will serve those with a wise heart.

30 K an xaqa ah midhihiisu waa geed nololeed, Oo kii nafo soo hanuuniyaana caqli buu leeyahay.

The fruit of those who are right with God is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.

31 B al eega, kan xaqa ahu abaalkiisuu dhulka ku heli doonaa, Haddaba immisa abaalgud oo ka sii badan bay heli doonaan kan sharka leh iyo dembiluhu.
