Luke 14:28-30 But which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have to finish it?

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁸ But which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have to finish [it]? ²⁹ Lest perhaps after he hath laid the foundation, but is not able to build and finish [it,] all that behold [it], begin to mock him, and to say, ³⁰ This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
