And when a flood developed, the stream beat upon that house, and could not shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock. 49 But he who heard, and not having done, is like a man who built a house upon the soil without a foundation, on which the stream beat, and straightaway it fell. And the ruin of that house became great.
