Psalms 18:4

4 ^aThe cords of death encompassed me;
^bthe torrents of destruction assailed me; ^{▼▼Or terrified me}

Isaiah 17:12-13

12 Ah, ^dthe thunder of many peoples;
they thunder like the thundering of the sea!
Ah, the roar of nations;
they roar like the roaring of mighty waters!
13 ^eThe nations roar like the roaring of many waters,
^fbut he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
chased ^glike chaff on the mountains before the wind
and ^hwhirling dust before the storm.

Matthew 7:25-27

25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like ⁱa foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
