Luke 14:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ For which of you having a mind to build a tower, doth not first sit down, and reckon the charges that are necessary, whether he have wherewithal to finish it:

²⁹ Lest, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that see it begin to mock him,

³⁰ Saying: This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
