Isaiah 30:17

One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

KJV

Mille homines a facie terroris unius ; et a facie terroris quinque fugietis, donec relinquamini quasi malus navis in vertice montis, et quasi signum super collem.

Vulgate

χίλιοι διὰ φωνὴν ἑνὸς φεύξονται, καὶ διὰ φωνὴν πέντε φεύξονται ⸂⸆⸃ πολλοί, ἕως ἂν καταλειφθῆτε ὡς ἱστὸς ἐπ’ ὄρους, καὶ ὡς σημαίαν φέρων ἐπὶ βουνοῦ.

LXX

One thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
