Anyone who listens to my teaching

and follows it is wise,

like a person who builds a house on solid rock.

Though the rain comes in torrents

and the floodwaters rise

and the winds beat against that house,

it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.

But anyone who hears my teaching

and doesn’t obey it is foolish,

like a person who builds a house on sand.

When the rains and floods come

and the winds beat against that house,

it will collapse with a mighty crash.

Matthew 7:24-27
