Yet it didn't collapse, because its foundation was 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. | 26And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. | 26"Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. | 26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: | 26But everyone who hears these words of Mine and doesn't act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. |
| 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash." | 27And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.” | 27"The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell-- and great was its fall." | 27And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. | 27The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. And its collapse was great!" |
