SCRIPTURE

"and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof." — Matthew 7:27 (ASV)

And it fell:

Just when the tenant most needed shelter, it fell. He did not need it so much until the floods came, and the winds blew; but now, when he would gladly have crouched down beneath his roof, and have been at peace from the howling hurricane, then "it fell."

And great was the fall of it.

The fall was so great because he could never build again.

And the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

There was no building it again; it was altogether gone, swept right away, no vestige of it remained.
