Exegesis
Two Qal participles, bochen {בֹּחֵ֣ן | bō-ḥēn} ‘tester’ and roeh {רֹאֶ֥ה | rō-ʾē} ‘seer’, depict divine scrutiny, with tsaddiq {צַדִּ֔יק | ṣad-dîq} ‘the righteous one’ as the object of examination.
In context — Jeremiah 20:12
But you, O LORD of hosts , who examine the righteous and see the kidneys and heart, let me see your vengeance on them, for to you I have revealed my cause.
