Exegesis

The final clause places še·ʿa·rû·rit {שַֽׁעֲרֻרִת | še·ʿa·rû·rit} ‘a horrible thing’ as the subject of the perfect verb ʿā·śə·tāh {עָשְׂתָה | ʿā·śə·tāh} ‘has done’, modified by the intensifier mə·ʼō·d {מְאֹד | mə·ʼō·d} ‘very’, and linked with the construct phrase bə·tû·lāt yiś·rā·ʾēl {בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל | bə·tû·lāt yiś·rā·ʾēl} ‘virgin of Israel’, personifying the nation as a pure one fallen into shocking offense. The progression from causal marker through divine utterance, summons, rhetorical question, to climactic indictment heightens the sense of judgment and astonishment.

In context — Jeremiah 18:13

Therefore, thus says the LORD : “Ask among the nations, ‘Who has ever heard anything like this?’ The virgin of Israel has done a horrible thing , exceedingly so.”
