Contextual Overview
11 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching. 12 And the Lord said to me: Thou hast seen well: for I will watch over my word to perform it. 13 And the word of the Lord came to me a second time saying: What seest thou? And I said: I see a boiling caldron, and the face thereof from the face of the north. 14 And the Lord said to me: From the north shall an evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For behold I will call together all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the Lord: and they shall come, and shall set every one his throne in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and upon all the walls thereof round about, and upon all the cities of Juda. 16 And I will pronounce my judgments against them, touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have sacrificed to strange gods, and have adored the work of their own hands. 17 Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command thee. Be not afraid at their presence: for I will make thee not to fear their countenance. 18 For behold I have made thee this day a fortified city, and a pillar of iron, and a wall of brass, over all the land, to the kings of Juda, to the princes thereof, and to the priests, and to the people of the land. 19 And they shall fight against them, and shall not prevail: for I am with thee, saith the Lord, to deliver thee.

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.
