44 for every tree is known by its fruit: it is not on thorns that men gather figs, nor do they gather grapes on a bramble bush. 45 a good man out of the good treasure of his heart produces what is good: and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart produces what is evil: for 'tis from the abundance of the heart, that the mouth speaketh. 46 Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not observe what I say? 47 I will show you, who that man is like, who comes to me, and practises what I prescribe. 48 he is like a man who in building a house, digg'd deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: an inundation came, the current beat impetuously upon that house, but could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 49 but he that does not practise what he hears, is like a man who built his house upon the loose earth without any foundation: the current beat impetuously against it: in the instant down it fell, and great were its ruins.
