To which prophet did God say, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you'?

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

Answer: (B)

This tests recognizing a direct call scene where God speaks of foreknowledge and pre-birth purpose. The line is part of God’s message to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations” (Jeremiah 1:5). That exact statement is unique to Jeremiah’s commissioning, which is why he is the correct answer. It illustrates the idea that God knows and sets apart someone for a task even before they exist. The other prophets have different calling moments, but they do not contain this precise pre-birth knowledge and appointment phrasing in their responses.
