倚室而室傾圮、賴室賴室或作扶室而室不立、

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。

倚室而室不立、扶室而室不存、

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.

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

所建之室如蟲繭、又如守望者所構之廬、

凡就我聞我言而行之者、我示爾將何以譬之、譬人建屋、掘地而深之、置基於磐上、至潦水漲溢、橫流衝屋、不能震動、因置基於磐上也、惟聞而不行者、譬人未置基而建屋於土上、橫流衝之即傾頹、而屋之頹壞者大矣、

故凡聞我此言而行之者、我譬之智人、建屋於磐上、雨降、河溢、風吹、撞其屋而不傾頹、因基在磐上也、凡聞我此言而不行者、譬之愚人、建屋於沙上、雨降、河溢、風吹、撞其屋而傾頹、其傾頹者大矣、

善人得其所望而樂、惡人所冀、必致空虛、

其心中以為家必永存、房宅必留至萬代、聲名必傳在世間、

所恃者必移於其幕、或作必移於所恃之幕被逐至可畏之王前、

惡人見之、即生瞋怒、切齒消亡、惡人所欲、永不能得、

天主必將爾毀滅至於永遠、除爾、拔爾於爾居所、居所原文作幕除爾根於世間、細拉、善人見此必恐懼、且哂笑之、云、不仰賴天主保護、惟恃己之多財、盡力作惡者、即是此人、
