11 “Go up to Gilead and get some balm [8:22],
    ·people [L virgin daughter] of Egypt!
You have prepared many medicines,
    ·but they will not work [in vain];
    you will not be healed.
12 The nations have heard of your ·shame [humiliation],
    and your cries fill all the earth.
One warrior has ·run into [L stumbled over] another;
    both of them have fallen down together!”
