Jeremiah 1:12
I will hasten my word - Here is a paronomasia. What dost thou see? I see shaked , "an almond," the hastening tree: that which first awakes. Thou hast well seen, for ( shoked ) I will hasten my word. I will awake, or watch over my word for the first opportunity to inflict the judgments which I threaten. The judgment shall come speedily; it shall soon flourish, and come to maturity.
