The verse 11 is found in chapter 46 of Jeremiah. The oracle against Egypt includes the defeat of its army and later a promise of restoration for Jacob. Egypt will not be able to sustain its power before Yahweh, but Israel will not be abandoned permanently either. Jacob’s discipline is distinguished from total judgment: God corrects his people without allowing them to disappear.

Gehe hinauf gen Gilead und hole Salbe, Jungfrau, Tochter Ägyptens! Aber es ist umsonst, daß du viel arzneiest; du wirst doch nicht heil!
Sube a Galaad, y toma bálsamo, virgen hija de Egipto: por demás multiplicarás medicinas; no hay cura para ti.
Sube a Galaad y consigue bálsamo, virgen hija de Egipto. En vano multiplicas los remedios; no hay curación para ti.
Monte en Galaad, prends du baume, Vierge, fille de l'Egypte! En vain tu multiplies les remèdes, Il n'y a point de guérison pour toi.
Sali in Galaad, e prendine del balsamo, o vergine, figliuola di Egitto; indarno hai usati medicamenti assai, non vi è guarigione alcuna per te
Sobe a Gileade, e toma bálsamo, ó virgem filha do Egito; debalde multiplicas remédios, pois já não há cura para ti.
少女 埃及 啊, 要上 基列 去取乳香; 你雖服用許多藥, 還是徒然,不得治好。
