Luke 14:30-32

Living Bible

³⁰ “‘See that fellow there?’ they would mock. ‘He started that building and ran out of money before it was finished!’

³¹ “Or what king would ever dream of going to war without first sitting down with his counselors and discussing whether his army of 10,000 is strong enough to defeat the 20,000 men who are marching against him?

³² “If the decision is negative, then while the enemy troops are still far away, he will send a truce team to discuss terms of peace.
