Lukas 14:29-31

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁹ Otherwise, having laid his yesod (foundation) and not being able to finish it, everyone seeing it may begin to make leitzonus (fun, mockery) of him,

³⁰ Saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish.

³¹ Or what melech, going out to make milchamah (war) against another melech, will not first sit down and consider if he is able with aseret alafim (ten thousand) to meet the one with esrim elef (twenty thousand) coming against him?
