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.

The verse 29 is found in chapter 4 of Jeremiah. The prophet personally expresses the pain of witnessing the devastation of the land. The vision moves from ruined cities to trembling mountains and darkened skies, eventually presenting Jerusalem as a distressed woman. The language combines prophetic observation and lament, showing that announcing judgment does not mean viewing it with indifference.

Aus allen Städten werden sie vor dem Geschrei der Reiter und Schützen fliehen und in die dicken Wälder laufen und in die Felsen kriechen; alle Städte werden verlassen stehen, daß niemand darin wohnt.
Del estruendo de la gente de a caballo y de los flecheros huyó toda la ciudad; entráronse en las espesuras de los bosques, y subiéronse en peñascos; todas las ciudades fueron desamparadas, y no quedó en ellas morador alguno.
Al ruido de los jinetes y los arqueros huye toda la ciudad. Entran en las espesuras y trepan por los peñascos. Todas las ciudades están abandonadas, y no queda nadie que habite en ellas.
Au bruit des cavaliers et des archers, toutes les villes sont en fuite; On entre dans les bois, on monte sur les rochers; Toutes les villes sont abandonnées, il n'y a plus d'habitants.
Tutte le città se ne fuggono, per lo strepito de’ cavalieri, e de’ saettatori; entrano in boschi folti, e salgono sopra le rocce; ogni città è abbandonata, e niuno vi abita più.
Ao clamor dos cavaleiros e dos flecheiros fugiram todas as cidades; entraram pelas matas e treparam pelos penhascos; todas as cidades ficaram abandonadas, e já ninguém habita nelas.
各城的人因騎兵和弓箭手的響聲就都逃跑, 進入密林,爬上磐石; 城鎮都被拋棄, 無人住在其中。
