Luke 14:29

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

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

For fear that if he makes a start and is not able to go on with it to the end, all who see it will be laughing at him,

in order that, having laid the foundation of it, and not being able to finish it, all who see it do not begin to mock at him,

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

saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

If he can't, he'll send representatives to ask for peace while the other king is still a long way off.

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

Lest that after he hath laide the foundation, and is not able to performe it, all that behold it, begin to mocke him,

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

Lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may 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, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you.

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

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,

lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him,
