Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 12:3

Theological / Devotional

Thou, O Lord. Confident that God is aware of his sincerity, Jeremiah expects God to vindicate him.

Sheep for the slaughter. See ch. 11:19. Jeremiah requests for his enemies the punishment they intended to inflict upon him.

Prepare. Heb. qadash, frequently translated “to sanctify,” here evidently meaning “to set apart” (see on ch. 6:4).
