Jeremiah 1:11
Douay-Rheims
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: What seest thou, Jeremias? And I said: I see a rod watching.
George Leo Haydock
Watching. Hebrew, “of an almond.” Septuagint, “nut-tree.” (Haydock) — The almond-tree flourishes in January, and bears fruit in March. (Theodoret) (Pliny, [Natural History?] xvi. 25.) — Thus God will speedily send his scourge from Babylon, to punish his people. (Calmet) —The sense is the same. (Menochius) — God’s law is outwardly bitter, but the kernel is sweet. (Theodoret) (Worthington)
