Jeremiah 4:25
Verse 25 of 31. The 4th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.

24I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

29The 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.
