But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.
But you know me, Lord, you see me, and examine what I think about you. Drag off these people like sheep to be slaughtered; keep them apart for the time when they're killed.
But thou, Lord, knowest me: thou hast seene me, and tried mine heart towarde thee: pull them out like sheepe for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known me, Thou seest me, and hast tried my heart with Thee, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.
But you, LORD, know me. You see me, and test my heart toward you. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

And thou, O Lord, hast known me, thou hast seen me, and proved my heart with thee: gather them together as sheep for a sacrifice, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
But Yahweh, as for me, you know what is in my inner being. You see what I do and you are able to know what I am thinking. So drag away those wicked people, like people drag away sheep that they are going to butcher. Set them aside like sheep that are about to be slaughtered!

Context — The Prosperity of the Wicked
1Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead before You. Yet about Your judgments I wish to contend with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease?
2You planted them, and they have taken root. They have grown and produced fruit. You are ever on their lips, but far from their hearts.
3But You know me, O LORD; You see me and test my heart toward You. Drag away the wicked like sheep to the slaughter and set them apart for the day of carnage.
4How long will the land mourn and the grass of every field be withered? Because of the evil of its residents, the animals and birds have been swept away, for the people have said, “He cannot see what our end will be.” 5“If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in a peaceful land, how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?Cross References

Jeremiah 12:3 Summary
[Jeremiah 12:3 means that Jeremiah is trusting in God's knowledge and care for him, even when things seem unfair, and he is asking God to bring justice to those who have rejected Him. This verse reminds us that God is all-knowing and all-powerful, and that He will ultimately bring justice to the world (Psalm 37:13). We can, like Jeremiah, have confidence that God knows and understands us, and we can trust in His love and care for us, even when things are difficult (Romans 8:28).]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean when Jeremiah says 'You know me, O LORD' in Jeremiah 12:3?
Jeremiah is expressing his confidence that God is intimately aware of his thoughts, feelings, and actions, just as David did in Psalm 139:1-2, and this gives him the courage to be honest with God about his concerns.
Why does Jeremiah ask God to 'drag away the wicked like sheep to the slaughter' in Jeremiah 12:3?
Jeremiah is not expressing a desire for violence, but rather asking God to bring justice to those who have rejected Him, much like the prophet Ezekiel did in Ezekiel 34:17-22, and this is a cry for God's holiness to be upheld.
How can I, like Jeremiah, have confidence that God knows and understands me?
You can have this confidence by remembering that God is all-knowing, as stated in 1 John 3:20, and by being honest with Him in prayer, just as Jeremiah was, and by trusting in His love and care for you, as expressed in Jeremiah 29:11.
What does it mean to 'test my heart toward You' in Jeremiah 12:3?
This means that Jeremiah is asking God to examine his motivations and desires, to see if they are pure and focused on God, much like the psalmist did in Psalm 139:23-24, and this is a sign of Jeremiah's humility and desire to please God.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that I can, like Jeremiah, express my confidence that God knows and understands me?
- How can I balance my desire for God's justice with my need to love and forgive those who have wronged me?
- What are some areas of my life where I need God to 'test my heart' and help me to stay focused on Him?
- How can I, like Jeremiah, trust in God's sovereignty even when I don't understand what is happening around me?
Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 12:3
But thou, O Lord, knowest me,.... The Lord knew him before he was born, Jeremiah 1:5, he knew what he designed him for, and what use he would make of him; and he knew him now, and loved him, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 12:3
But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. Thou, O Lord, knowest me - (Psalms 139:1).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:3
But thou, O Lord, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried my heart toward thee: here seemeth to be something understood, viz. But, Lord, it is otherwise with me, I am maligned, and my life is hunted after; yet, Lord, thou knowest the sincerity of my heart before and towards thee, thou hast had experience of me in the discharge of my prophetical office, and knowest that I have been faithful in revealing to the people what thou didst reveal to me, yet for this it is they seek my life and would have my blood. Prepare them for the day of slaughter: Lord, avenge me on this wicked generation, confirm the words against them which I have from thee denounced. Concerning the meaning of expressions of this nature, and the lawfulness of putting up such petitions against those who are not only our enemies, but God’ s also, See Poole "".
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:3
Jeremiah 12:3 But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.Ver. 3. But thou, Lord, knowest me, &c., ] q.d., I can safely appeal unto thee, and take thee for a witness of mine innocence and integrity, that I have thee not in my mouth only, as they, but in my heart also, which is wholly devoted to thy fear, ut sit tecum, hanging toward thee, and hankering after thee continually. Pull them out as sheep.] Punish some of them presently for an example of thy providence, and reserve others of them till hereafter for an instance of thy patience. See Jeremiah 11:20. Prepare them.] Heb., Sanctify them. Fatted ware is but fitted for the shambles. Tremellius.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:3
(3) Thou, O Lord, knowest me.—Like all faithful sufferers from evil-doers before and after him, the prophet appeals to the righteous Judge, who knows how falsely he has been accused. In words in which the natural impatience of suffering shows itself as clearly as in the complaints of Psalms 69, 109, he asks that the judgment may be immediate, open, terrible. As if recalling the very phrase which he had himself but lately used (Jeremiah 11:19), he prays that they too may be as “sheep for the slaughter,” dragged or torn away from their security to the righteous penalty of their wrong. Prepare.—Better, devote. The Hebrew word, as in Jeremiah 6:4, involves the idea of consecration.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:3
Verse 3. But thou, O Lord, knowest me] I know that the very secrets of my heart are known to thee; and I am glad of it, for thou knowest that my heart is towards thee - is upright and sincere.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 12:3
3. The second half of the v. presents some difficulty. Jeremiah’s personal enemies have not yet been definitely mentioned, nor, if we take Co.’s view and place this passage (see on Jeremiah 11:18-23) earlier, have they been even hinted at. If, on the other hand, it refers to the wicked generally, we may question whether Jeremiah drew a distinction between their coming fortunes and those of the nation as a whole. Co. accordingly agrees so far with Du. as to omit this part of the v. pull them out] a strong expression in the Hebrew. The verb is that rendered “are broken” in Jeremiah 10:20. prepare] For mg. Heb. sanctify see on Jeremiah 6:4.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 12:3
Thou hast seen me ... - Rather, “Thou seest me and triest mine heart” at all times, and knowest the sincerity of its devotion” toward Thee.” Pull them out - The original is used Jeremiah 10:20 of the
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 12:3
3. Thou, O Lord, knowest me — A solemn appeal to the heart-searching God, not in the spirit of Phariseeism, but with a clear consciousness of thorough honesty.
