Luke 14:30-32

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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?

³² And if he cannot [do so], when the other king is still a great way off, he sends an envoy and asks the terms of peace.
