In context
46 Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
47 I will show you what he is like who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them:
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid his foundation on the rock. When the flood came, the torrent crashed against that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.
49 But the one who hears My words and does not act on them is like a man who built his house on ground without a foundation. The torrent crashed against that house, and immediately it fell—and great was its destruction!”
