He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) does not include a longer phrase after shake: αὐτὴν διὰ τὸ καλῶς οἰκοδομῆσθαι αὐτήν. The KJV’s Greek text (Textus Receptus) adds “had been founded upon the rock” (τεθεμελίωτο ἐπὶ τὴν πέτραν.) after shake here.
