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. ²⁵The 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. ²⁶But 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. ²⁷The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

⁷“But blessed^(A) is the one who trusts^(B) in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
⁸They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.^(C)
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought^(D)
    and never fails to bear fruit.”^(E)
