He is like a man who built a house and dug deep and laid the foundation on a rock; and a flood occurring, the stream burst against that house and could not shake it; for it was founded on a rock.

But he who hears and does not perform, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, on which the stream burst, and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.

so that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all those seeing begin to mock him,

And they will tear you down, and your children within you, and will not leave a stone on a stone because you did not know the time of your visitation.

As to these things which you see, days will come in which there shall not be left a stone on a stone, which shall not be thrown down.
