Lukas 14:28-30

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁸ For who among you, wanting to build a migdal (tower), will not first sit down and rechen (calculate) the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?

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.
