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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 17 is found in chapter 30 of Isaiah. Judah seeks refuge in Egypt without consulting Yahweh. The alliance intended to provide security becomes a source of shame because true protection does not come from horses or military strength. The refusal to listen to the prophetic word reveals that the political problem arises from theological distrust.

Denn euer tausend werden fliehen vor eines einzigen Schelten; ja vor fünfen werdet ihr alle fliehen, bis daß ihr übrigbleibet wie ein Mastbaum oben auf einem Berge und wie ein Panier oben auf einem Hügel.
Un millar huirá a la amenaza de uno; a la amenaza de cinco huiréis vosotros todos; hasta que quedéis como mástil en la cumbre de un monte, y como bandera sobre cabezo.
Mil huirán ante la amenaza de uno solo; ante la amenaza de cinco huirán, hasta que queden como un mástil en la cima de un monte y como un estandarte sobre una colina».
Mille fuiront à la menace d'un seul, Et, à la menace de cinq, vous fuirez, Jusqu'à ce que vous restiez Comme un signal au sommet de la montagne, Comme un étendard sur la colline.
Un migliaio fuggirà alla minaccia di un solo; alla minaccia di cinque voi fuggirete tutti; finchè restiate come un albero di nave sopra la sommità di un monte, e come un’antenna sopra un colle
Mil homens fugirão ao grito de um, e ao grito de cinco todos vós fugireis, até que sejais deixados como o mastro no cume do monte, e como a bandeira no outeiro.
一人叱喝,令千人逃跑, 五人叱喝,你們都逃跑; 以致剩下的如山頂的旗杆, 如山岡上的大旗。
