43 For a good tree brings not forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words, and is doing them, I will show you to whom he is like:

And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having built a house on the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream broke forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.”
