The phrase 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you' was spoken to which prophet?

• A. Isaiah
• B. Ezekiel
• C. Daniel
• D. Jeremiah

Answer: (D)

That line shows a prophet being called with the idea that God knew him and had a purpose for him before birth. It appears when God commissions Jeremiah, telling him that He formed him in the womb and that Jeremiah is chosen and appointed as a prophet to the nations. This emphasis on pre-birth knowledge and assignment is unique to Jeremiah’s calling, while the other prophets have different moment-of-call experiences—Isaiah responds to God’s question “Whom shall I send?” with readiness, Ezekiel is drawn into a vision of God’s glory for his commissioning, and Daniel’s story centers on revelations during exile. So the exact pre-birth knowledge and assignment is specifically Jaymed to Jeremiah.
