Luke 14:29-31

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁹ Otherwise, when he has laid the foundation and is unable to complete [the building], all who see it will begin to mock and jeer at him,

³⁰ Saying, This man began to build and was not able (^[a]worth enough) to finish.

³¹ Or what king, going out to engage in conflict with another king, will not first sit down and consider and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand [men] to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
