Matthew 7:25

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

b. NIV: The rain came down, the streams rose, and the windsock.

c. YLT: And the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for it had been founded on the rock.

d. Amplified Bible Classic: And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.

e. Peshitta Eastern Text: And the rain came down, and the rivers overflowed, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house; but it did not fall down, blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the r because its foundations were laid upon a rock.
