They cling to their home for security, but it won’t last. They try to hold it tight, but it will not endure.

他要倚靠房屋，房屋却站立不住；他要抓住房屋，房屋却不能存留。

他要倚靠房屋，房屋却站立不住；他要抓住房屋，房屋却不能存留。

他要倚靠房屋，房屋却站立不住；他要抓住房屋，房屋却不能存留。

他倚靠它，它却支撑不住；他抓紧它，它却支离破碎。

他倚靠自己的家，家却立不住，他抓紧自己的家，家却存不久。

他要倚靠房屋，房屋卻站立不住；他要抓住房屋，房屋卻不能存留。

他要倚靠房屋，房屋卻站立不住；他要抓住房屋，房屋卻不能存留。

他要倚靠房屋，房屋卻站立不住；他要抓住房屋，房屋卻不能存留。

他倚靠它，它卻支撐不住；他抓緊它，它卻支離破碎。

他倚靠自己的家，家卻立不住，他抓緊自己的家，家卻存不久。

他要倚靠家業，家業卻站立不住；他要抓住家業，家業卻不能永立。

倚室而室不立、扶室而室不存、

倚室而室傾圮、賴室賴室或作扶室而室不立、

They lean on the web, but it gives way; they cling to it, but it does not hold.

They lean on it, but it falls apart. They hold on to it, but it gives way.

He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.

He leans on his web, but it doesn’t stand firm. He grabs it, but it does not hold up.

He depends on his house, but it does not stand; He holds on to it, but it does not endure.

He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.

He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.

He leans on his web, but it doesn’t stand firm. He grabs it, but it does not hold up.

He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

He leans against his house but it does not hold up, he takes hold of it but it does not stand.

He will lean on his house, but it will not stand. He will cling to it, but it will not endure.

The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as a shelter made of branches.

I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it.It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built.But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house right on the ground, without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins.”

“ Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”

The hopes of the godly result in happiness, but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing.

The grave is their eternal home, where they will stay forever. They may name their estates after themselves,

They are torn from the security of their homes and are brought down to the king of terrors.

The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.

But God will strike you down once and for all. He will pull you from your home and uproot you from the land of the living. InterludeThe righteous will see it and be amazed. They will laugh and say,“ Look what happens to mighty warriors who do not trust in God. They trust their wealth instead and grow more and more bold in their wickedness.”
