Isaiah 21:15

For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

Vulgate

διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πεφονευμένων καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πλανωμένων καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῆς μαχαίρας καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν τοξευμάτων τῶν διατεταμένων καὶ διὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν πεπτωκότων ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ.

LXX

For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
