“Before I formed you in your mother’s womb 1  I chose you. 2  Before you were born I set you apart. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”

NET © Notes

tn Heb “the womb.” The words “your mother’s” are implicit and are supplied in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “I knew you.” The parallelism here with “set you apart” and “appointed you” make clear that Jeremiah is speaking of his foreordination to be a prophet. For this same nuance of the Hebrew verb see Gen 18:19; Amos 3:2.
