And let the mighty men come forth:
1The Ethiopians and2 the Libyans who handle the shield,
And the Lydians awho handle and bend the bow.
A day of vengeance,
That He may avenge Himself on His adversaries.
bThe sword shall devour;
It shall be1 satiated and made drunk with their blood;
For the Lord God of hosts chas a sacrifice
In the north country by the River Euphrates.
bO virgin, the daughter of Egypt;
In vain you will use many medicines;
cYou shall not be cured.
And your cry has filled the land;
For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty;
They both have fallen together.”
Babylonia Will Strike Egypt

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.
virgin—Egypt is so called on account of her effeminate luxury, and as having never yet been brought under foreign yoke.
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.
