Jeremiah 18:13 Summary

[The LORD is saying that Israel's actions are shocking and unheard of, even among other nations, because they have been given so much and yet they still rebel against Him, as seen in Jeremiah 2:6-8. This verse is a call to consider the seriousness of sin and the need for repentance. The LORD wants us to know that He is a loving God who desires our faithfulness, but He will not tolerate our rebellion forever, as seen in Deuteronomy 30:19-20. We must turn to Him and away from our sin, just like Israel was called to do.]

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when the LORD says 'Inquire among the nations' in Jeremiah 18:13?

The LORD is asking the people to consider if any other nation has ever heard of a people as privileged as Israel, who has been given so much by God, yet still rebels against Him, as seen in Jeremiah 2:6-8 and Ezekiel 16:1-63.

Why is Israel called a 'virgin' in Jeremiah 18:13?

Israel is called a 'virgin' because they were once dedicated solely to the LORD, but now they have become unfaithful, as seen in Jeremiah 2:2 and Isaiah 54:5-6.

What is the 'most terrible thing' that Virgin Israel has done?

The 'most terrible thing' refers to Israel's rebellion against the LORD, their refusal to turn back to Him, and their pursuit of idolatry, which is a spiritual adultery, as seen in Jeremiah 3:6-10 and Hosea 1:2-3.

This verse is part of Jeremiah's call to the people of Judah and Jerusalem to repent and turn back to the LORD, as seen in Jeremiah 18:11 and Jeremiah 7:1-7, and it highlights the severity of their sin and the need for repentance.

Reflection Questions

  2. How does the LORD's description of Israel as a 'virgin' challenge my understanding of my own relationship with Him?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 18:13

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. Ask ye now among the pagan, who hath heard such things?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 18:13

God was moved at this desperate obstinacy and hardness of this people’ s hearts, he appeals to the world whether ever any heathens behaved themselves so towards 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, , and to Babylon, . The horrible thing which they had done was their forsaking God, their God, a thing not usual amongst the heathens, as God tells them, .

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 18:13

Jeremiah 18:13 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. 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 Jeremiah 18:15 cf. Jeremiah 2:13; Jeremiah 2:32.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 18:13

(13) Ask ye now among the heathen.—The appeal of Jer 2:10-11 is renewed. Judah had not been true, even as heathen nations were true, to its inherited faith and worship. The virgin daughter of Israel (Isaiah 1:8; Jeremiah 14:17)—the epithet is emphasised, as contrasted with the shame that follows—had fallen from a greater height to a profounder depth of debasement.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 18:13

Verse 13. The virgin of Israel] Instead of ישראל Yisrael, three of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., with the Alexandrian copy of the Septuagint, have ירושלם Yerushalem, Jerusalem.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 18:13

13. Ask ye now among the nations] Cp. ch. Jeremiah 2:10 f., Jeremiah 5:30. the virgin of Israel] The people collectively (see on Jeremiah 4:11), tended with the utmost care by the Almighty, have in spite of it all broken through the sanctity which hedged them around. Cp. Jeremiah 14:17 for the collective use of the expression.

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 18:13

The contrast between the chaste retirement of a virgin and Judah’s eagerness after idolatry, serves to heighten the horror at her conduct.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 18:13

13. Heathen — Literally, nations. The word is steadily used as standing over against Israel. Hence the version is good. Virgin of Israel — See on Isaiah 1:8; Jeremiah 14:17.
