дабы, когда положит основание и не возможет совершить, все видящие не стали смеяться над ним,
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 observe it 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,
For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you,
lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him,
Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you.
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,
