Matthew 7:24-27
Worldwide English (New Testament)
24 `Everyone who hears what I say and obeys me will be like a man who has good sense. He built his house on a rock.
25 It rained hard. The water in the rivers came up high. The winds were strong and beat on the house. But it did not fall down. It was built on a rock.
26 But everyone who hears what I say and does not obey me, will be like a man who has no sense. He built his house on the sand.
27 It rained hard. The water in the rivers came up high. The winds were strong and beat on the house. It fell down with a loud noise!'

Matthew 7:24-27
New International Version
The Wise and Foolish Builders(A)
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice(B) is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
