Bible Comments

Thou hast well seen; or, Thou hast seen and judged right; or, as the Hebrew, Thou hast done well to see, i.e. in seeing so. I will hasten; word for word, I will almond-tree it, i.e. I will be upon them speedily, in a short time, and suddenly, ere they are aware; or, I will watch, and be ready to accomplish this in due time. My word, i.e. my word of threatening against Judah and its inhabitants.

Jeremiah 1:12

12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
