Commentary
Gill's Exposition
But he that heareth, and doth not,.... Hears Christ's sayings externally, but does not obey his commands: is like a man that without a foundation built upon the earth: that
is, without digging for a foundation, built his house upon the surface of the earth; "upon the dust of it", as the Syriac version renders it; or, "upon the sand", as Matthew says: "against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great"; See Gill on Mat 7:26 .
