The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.

The verse 12 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.

Deine Schande ist unter die Heiden erschollen, deines Heulens ist das Land voll; denn ein Held fällt über den andern und liegen beide miteinander darnieder.
Las gentes oyeron tu afrenta, y tu clamor hinchió la tierra: porque fuerte se encontró con fuerte, y cayeron ambos juntos.
Las naciones han oído tu deshonra y tu grito ha llenado la tierra, porque un guerrero ha tropezado con otro, y ambos han caído juntos».
Les nations apprennent ta honte, Et tes cris remplissent la terre, Car les guerriers chancellent l'un sur l'autre, Ils tombent tous ensemble.
Le genti hanno udita la tua ignominia, e il tuo grido ha riempiuta la terra; perciocchè il prode è traboccato sopra il prode; amendue son caduti insieme.
As nações ouviram a tua vergonha, e a terra está cheia do teu clamor; porque o valente tropeçou com o valente e ambos caíram juntos.
列國聽見你的羞辱, 遍地滿了你的哀聲; 勇士與勇士彼此相撞, 二人一起跌倒。
