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.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
rod--shoot, or branch. almond tree--literally, "the wakeful tree," because it awakes from the sleep of winter earlier than the other trees, flowering in January, and bearing fruit in March; symbol of God's early execution of His purpose; Jer 1:12, "hasten My word" (compare Amo 8:3).
