Jeremiah 2:12 calls the heavens to be appalled at Israel's sin, using the same root word for 'appalled' as in 5:30. Both emphasize the shocking nature of their rebellion.

Jeremiah 23:14 uses the identical phrase 'a horrible thing' to describe the prophets' sins, reinforcing the pervasive wickedness in the land.

Jeremiah 18:13 uses the same 'horrible thing' phrase to condemn Israel's unparalleled apostasy — directly echoing this verse's lament.

Hosea 6:10 also declares 'I have seen a horrible thing' in Israel, using the exact same Hebrew expression. Shows this prophetic indictment across different books.
