Scribe house upon the sand

Old testament

[13] So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:
 [14] Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.
 [15] He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
(Job 8:13-15 [KJV])

(Ezekiel 33:23-33 [KJV])
 [23] Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
 [24] Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
 [25] Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
 [26] Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour’s wife: and shall ye possess the land?
 [27] Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
 [28] For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
 [29] Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
 [30] Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
 [31] And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
 [32] And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
 [33] And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

• building their house on the sand (verse 24, 25, 26).
• hear the word but will not do them (verse 30-32).
• house falleth (verse 27,28, 29, 33).

New testament

(Matthew 7:24-27 [KJV])
 [24] Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
 [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.
 [26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
 [27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

House upon the sand is he that heareth and doeth it not (verse 26) and his house will fall (verse 27).
