knowest me - (Psa 139:1).
tried ... heart - (Jer 11:20).
toward thee - rather, “with Thee,” that is, entirely devoted to Thee; contrasted with the hypocrites (Jer 12:2), “near in ... mouth, and far from ... reins.” This being so, how is it that I fare so ill, they so well?
pull ... out - containing the metaphor, from a “rooted tree” (Jer 12:2).
prepare - literally, “separate,” or “set apart as devoted.”
day of slaughter - (Jam 5:5).
