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.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 1 of Obadiah. Edom’s presence at the crossroads to capture fugitives shows active participation in the disaster. It is no longer merely observing Judah’s fall passively, but preventing survivors from finding a way of escape.

du sollst nicht stehen an den Wegscheiden, seine Entronnenen zu morden; du sollst seine übrigen nicht verraten zur Zeit der Angst.
Tampoco habías de haberte parado en las encrucijadas, para matar los que de ellos escapasen; ni habías tú de haber entregado los que quedaban en el día de angustia.
Ne te tiens pas au carrefour pour exterminer ses fuyards, Et ne livre pas ses réchappés au jour de la détresse!
E non istartene in su le forche delle strade, per ammazzar quelli d’esso che si salvano; e non mettere in mano de’ nemici quelli d’esso che scampano, nel giorno della distretta.
Nem parar nas encruzilhadas, para exterminares os que escapassem; nem entregar os que lhe restassem, no dia da angústia.
他們遭難的日子, 你不該站在岔路口 剪除他們逃脫的人, 你不該交出他們的倖存者。
