Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 18:13

13 Therefore thus saith the LORD, Ask ye now amongst the heathen, Who hath heard such things? The virgin of Israel, hath done a very horrible thing .

God was moved at this desperate obstinacy and hardness of this peoples hearts, he appeals to the World whether ever any Heathens behaved themselves so toward their Idols which were no Gods, as this people had behaved themselves towards him. He calls Israel a Virgin, it is a term given to Zidon, Isaiah 23.12. and to Babylon. Isa. 47.1. The horrible thing which they had done, was their forsaking God, their God a thing not usual amongst the Heathens, as God tells them, chap. 2.11.
