KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
You shouldn't have blocked the roads to catch the people trying to escape, and you definitely shouldn't have handed over the survivors when they were already going through the worst day of their lives.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Don't kick people when they're already down — help them up instead.
