“But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.”
But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete — the house without a foundation collapses completely when the same flood strikes. The destruction is complete: not damaged but destroyed. The without a foundation communicates the visible inadequacy of the builder who chose the easy surface rather than digging to the rock. Hearing without doing is the foundation of sand — it looks like a house but cannot withstand the test.
