14 You should not wait at the crossroads

to cut down their fugitives,

nor hand over their survivors

in the day of their trouble.

14 Do not stand at the crossroads

to cut off his fugitives;

do not hand over his survivors

in the day of distress.

14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; Neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

14 You should not have stood at the crossroads,

killing those who tried to escape.

You should not have captured the survivors

and handed them over in their terrible time of trouble.

14 You should not have stood at the crossroads

To cut off those among them who escaped;

Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained

In the day of distress.

14 Do not stand at the crossroads

to destroy those who are trying to escape.

Do not capture those who escape alive and turn them over to their enemy

in their time of trouble.

14 And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress.

14 and thou shouldest not have stood on the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape, nor have delivered up those remaining of him in the day of distress.

14 Don’t stand at the crossroads to kill their refugees. 

Don’t hand over their survivors when they’re in distress. 

14 Do not stand at the crossroads

to cut off their fugitives,

and do not hand over their survivors

in the day of distress.

14 You should not have stood at the crossings

to cut off his fugitives;

you should not have handed over his survivors

on the day of distress.

14 And you should not have stood at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives and you should not have handed over his survivors on the day of distress.

14 You waited where the roads cross.

You wanted to cut down those who were running away.

You should not have done that.

You handed over to their enemies

those who were still left alive.

You should not have done that.

They were in trouble.
