essay on Plutarch\\\'s comments on Hesiod\'s works - Divine retribution and punishment
Context:
questo accostamento tra indugio (ἀμβολιεργός /ἀναβολαὶ) e delitti (μοχθηρῶν ἔργων) si ritrova, come visto, nel passo del De sera dove l'esiodeo ἀμβολιεργοὺς si riferisce a chi non indugia nel compiere il male (κακῶς ποιεῖν) e che andrebbe invece arrestato dall'immediato castigo decretato dal dio. Sembra probabile che almeno l'ultima frase possa essere considerata affine al pensiero plutarcheo e al testo dell'opuscolo.
Here, I am not sure whether the "arrestato" part means ...."and, instead, should be prevented from carrying out the punishment inflicted by the god"
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

would instead be stopped
sounds like it's the difference between he who hesitates to do evil, and he who instead is only stopped by the immediate punishment inflicted by God. I guess "dal" in your case would be "the god".
