SIL Translator’s Notes on Matthew 7:27

7:27a–b

The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house: In Greek these clauses are identical to 7:25a–b. You should translate them in the same way.

7:27c

and it fell—and great was its collapse!: These clauses indicate that the whole house fell down. It was completely destroyed.

Here are some other ways to translate these words:

it fell down and was completely destroyed

-or-

and it collapsed; it was utterly destroyed! (NET Bible)
