Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’

²⁴“Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. ²⁵The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because its foundation had been laid on rock. ²⁶Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. ²⁷The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, and it collapsed—it was utterly destroyed!”
