⁴⁷ I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me and ·hears [listens to] my words and ·obeys [acts on them]. ⁴⁸ That person is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid the foundation on rock. When the floods came, the ·water [^Lriver] ·tried to wash the house away [^Lswept/burst against that house], but it could not shake it, because the house was built well. ⁴⁹ But the one who ·hears [listens to] my words and does not ·obey [act on them] is like a man who built his house on the ground without a foundation. When the ·floods [^Lriver] ·came [swept/burst against it], the house quickly ·fell [collapsed] and was completely destroyed.”
