Luke 14:30-32

Complete Jewish Bible

³⁰ and say, ‘This is the man who began to build, but couldn’t finish!’

³¹ “Or again, suppose one king is going out to wage war with another king. Doesn’t he first sit down and consider whether he, with his ten thousand troops, has enough strength to meet the other one, who is coming against him with twenty thousand? ³² If he hasn’t, then while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation to inquire about terms for peace.
