Obadiah 1:14

Nor have stood in the cross-way to cut off their fugitives, Nor have delivered up those that remained in the day of distress!

Noyes Bible

In The King James Version

In Context

15For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: As thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee; Thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.
