The Wise and Foolish Builders

Matthew 7:24-27

The Wise and Foolish Builders

24
`Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;
25
and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.
26
`And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his house upon the sand;
27
and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its fall was great.'
