Luke 14:28-30

Young's Literal Translation

²⁸ `For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he have the things for completing?

²⁹ lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,

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