Contextual Overview
11 And the Word of the Lord came to me saying, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" I said, "I see a branch of an almond tree." 12 Then the Lord said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching to see that My Word is completed." 13 The Word of the Lord came to me a second time saying, "What do you see?" And I said, "I see a boiling pot, with its face turned away from the north." 14 Then the Lord said to me, "Out of the north trouble will come upon all the people of the land. 15 For, see, I am calling all the families of the nations of the north," says the Lord. "And they will come. Then every one will set up his throne at the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls around it, and against all the cities of Judah. 16 And I will tell how they are to be punished for all their sin. For they have turned away from Me and have given gifts to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands. 17 Now get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I tell you. Do not be afraid of them, or I will make trouble for you in front of them. 18 Today I have made you as a strong city ready for war, as a pillar of iron and as walls of brass against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, the rulers, its religious leaders, and the people of the land. 19 And they will fight against you. But they will not have power over you, for I am with you to take you out of trouble," says the Lord.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said the Lord unto me, thou hast well seen,.... The thing seen is a very proper emblem of what I am about to do, and the quick dispatch that will be made therein:
for l will hasten my word to perform it; the words ×©×§× ×× ×, "shoked ani", "I will hasten", or "I am hastening", are in allusion to
שק×, "shoked", the name of the almond tree in Hebrew; which is so called because it is quick and early, and, as it were, hastens to bring forth its flowers, leaves, and fruit; in like manner the Lord says he would hasten to perform what he had said or should say by him concerning the destruction of Jerusalem, and the captivity of the people, and every thing else he should give him in commission to say. Jarchi and Abendana make mention of an ancient Midrash, or exposition, to this sense; that from the time of the almond tree's putting forth, until its fruit is ripe, are one and twenty days, according to the number of days which were between the seventeenth of Tammuz, in which the city was broken up, and the ninth of Ab, in which the temple was burnt; but though the almond tree is the first of trees, and is very early in putting forth, yet there is a greater time than this between its putting forth and its fruit being ripe; for Pliny s says, that the almond tree first of all flowers in January, and its fruit is ripe in March.
s Nat. Hist. l. 16. c. 25.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hasten - Rather, I watch over âmy word to perform it.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 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.
