NETBible

“Before I formed you in your mother’s womb¹ I chose you.² Before you were born I set you apart. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “the womb.” The words “your mother’s” are implicit and are supplied in the translation for clarity.

²tn 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.
