Luke 6:49

“The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it collapsed with a great crash.””

Parallel passage about a house built on sand collapsing

“that person is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.”

Contrast with the wise builder in the preceding verse

“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

Highlights the importance of not just hearing but doing

“If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.”

Addresses the importance of building on a solid foundation

“But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, since you ignored all my advice and would not accept my correction, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you— when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you.”
