He who hears these words of Mine and acts on them shall be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the floods came, the winds blew and slammed against that house; yet it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. But he who hears these words of Mine and acts not on them shall be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, the floods came, the winds blew and slammed against that house; it fell— and great was its fall! (Matthew 7:24-27)
