¹⁵ He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand. He shall cling to it, but it shall not endure.

¹⁸ He builds his house as the moth, As a booth which the watchman makes.

²⁴ "Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.

²⁵ The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.

²⁶ Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.

²⁷ The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."

⁴⁷ Everyone who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will show you who he is like.

⁴⁸ He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.

⁴⁹ But he who hears, and doesn't do, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream broke, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great."

¹⁴ He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.

¹¹ Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, And their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

⁵ God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, And root you out of the land of the living. Selah.

⁶ The righteous also will see it, and fear, And laugh at him, saying,

⁷ "Behold, this is the man who didn't make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness."

¹⁰ The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.

²⁸ The prospect of the righteous is joy, But the hope of the wicked will perish.
