ὅμοιός ἐστιν ἀνθρώπῳ οἰκοδομοῦντι οἰκίαν ὃς ἔσκαψεν καὶ ἐβάθυνεν καὶ ἔθηκεν θεμέλιον ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν· πλημμύρης δὲ γενομένης προσέρηξεν ὁ ποταμὸς τῇ οἰκίᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ οὐκ ἴσχυσεν σαλεῦσαι αὐτὴν ⸂διὰ τὸ καλῶς οἰκοδομῆσθαι αὐτήν⸃.
English Translation
He is like a man building a house, who dug and deepened and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood arose, the river struck that house, and it could not be shaken because it had been well built.
