Jeremiah 46:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Go up unto Gilead, [a]and take balm, [b]O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many [c]medicines: for thou shalt have no health.
12 The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong, and they are fallen both together.
13 ¶ The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the Prophet, how Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel should come and smite the land of Egypt.
