LEB(i)
28 For which of you, wanting to build a tower, does not first sit down and* calculate the cost to see if he has enough* ⌊to complete it⌋?*
29 ⌊Otherwise⌋* after* he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it,* all who see it* will begin to ridicule him,
30 saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish!'
31 Or what king, going out to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and* deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand.
32 But if not, while* the other is still far away, he sends an ambassador and* asks ⌊for terms of⌋* peace.
