To begin with, let us look at some other Bible versions. I think it would be interesting to see how this verse is treated.
- When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation. – NLT

A little here a little there, line upon line, precept upon precept, until TRUTH is understood and received by God’s people.
Thank you for the encouragement 🙂
