MKJV(i)
28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he may have enough to finish it;
29 lest perhaps, after he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish, all those seeing begin to mock him,
30 saying, This man began to build and was not able to finish.
31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not first sit down and consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace.
