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.
Pero tú, oh Señor, me conoces completamente: me has observado y has probado la devoción de mi corazón hacia ti. Arráncalos como ovejas llevadas al matadero, y prepáralos para el día en que serán muertos.
Jeremías le pide a Dios que castigue a los malvados, sabiendo que Dios conoce completamente su corazón fiel.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Jeremiah was a prophet in ancient Judah during a time of widespread moral decay and the looming threat of Babylonian invasion in the 7th-6th century BC. In this verse, he is pouring out his heart to God, expressing confidence that God sees and tests his loyalty amidst persecution from his enemies. Jeremiah's plea for God to judge the wicked, using the metaphor of sheep for slaughter, draws from the cultural practices of animal sacrifice to illustrate divine judgment.
