Jeremiah 4:29
The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
KJV
A voce equitis et mittentis sagittam fugit omnis civitas : ingressi sunt ardua, et ascenderunt rupes : universæ urbes derelictæ sunt, et non habitat in eis homo.
Vulgate
ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἱππέως καὶ ἐντεταμένου τόξου ἀνεχώρησεν πᾶσα χώρα· εἰσέδυσαν εἰς τὰ σπήλαια, καὶ εἰς τὰ ἄλση ἐκρύβησαν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς πέτρας ἀνέβησαν· πᾶσα πόλις ἐνκατελείφθη, οὐ κατῴκει ἐν αὐταῖς ἄνθρωπος.
LXX
Every city fleeth for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein.
