Jeremiah 46:11

Gilead . . . balm—(See on Jeremiah 8:22); namely, for curing the wounds; but no medicine will avail, so desperate shall be the slaughter.

thou shalt not be cured—literally, "there shall be no cure for thee" (Jeremiah 30:13; Ezekiel 30:21). Not that the kingdom of Egypt should cease to exist, but it should not recover its former strength; the blow should be irretrievable.
