that.
inherit.
 To trouble one’s own house is, I take it, to so walk as to leave an evil example for those coming after to follow. (Proverbs Eleven by H.A. Ironside)
 The fool, though superior in station, will be the servant to the wise in heart. It is not the outward trappings and insignia of office that make a man to be truly great. When Daniel and Belshazzar met face to face, or when Paul and Festus confronted each other, who were the superior persons? (Proverbs Eleven by H.A. Ironside)
