'Flees' in the Bible

He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.

He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.

And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them.
