Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
Ver. 13. Therefore thus saith the Lord.] God himself seemeth here to wonder at the desperate obstinace of this people, as not to be matched again. Like as our Saviour marvelled at the unbelief of the Nazarites, and could do for them no mighty work. Mar 6:5-6 See Trapp on " Mar 6:5 " See Trapp on " Mar 6:6 "
The virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.] A "virgin" she is called, either by an irony, or else because she should have been a pure virgin, sincere in God's service, but was nothing less. What this horrible thing was, see Jer 18:15 cf. Jeremiah 2:13; Jeremiah 2:32 .
