To eliminate their survivors;

And do not hand over their refugees

On the day of their distress.

To cut down their fugitives;

And do not imprison their survivors

In the day of their distress.

To cut down those [of Judah] who escaped;

And do not hand over [to the enemy] those [of Judah] who survive

In the day of their distress.

to cut off their fugitives,

nor deliver up their survivors

in the day of their distress.

The Deliverance of Israel

14You 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.
