Luke 14:29

Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him,

Otherwise, after he has laid the foundation and cannot finish it, all the onlookers will begin to ridicule him,

Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,

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

Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who are watching it will begin to ridicule him,

For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,

Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you.

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
