Jeremiah 4:29 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

Whole city - all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: to it the inhabitants of the country had fled for refuge; but when it, too, is likely to fall, they flee out of it to hide in the "thickets." Henderson translates 'every city.'

Noise - the mere noise of the hostile horsemen shall put you, to flight.

Jeremiah 4:29

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.
