Thematic Bible: The wise and foolish builders

"And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon the house, but it fell not, for it was founded upon the rock. "And every one who hears these words of mine and does them not, I will liken to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. read more.
"And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it."

"I will show whom the man that comes to me, and listens to my works, and does them, is like. "He is like a man who is building a house who digged and went deep and laid a foundation upon rock. And, when a flood came, the torrent dashed against that house, but could not move, because it had been founded upon rock. "But he who listens but does not do, is like a man who built a house upon the soil, without foundations, against which the torrent burst, and at once it fell in, and the ruin of that house was great."
