God encourages him with his promise of assistance And the word of the LORD came to me This phrase signifies the divine communication between God and His prophet, Jeremiah. In Hebrew, "word" is "dabar," which implies not just spoken words but a dynamic, active force. The "word of the LORD" is a recurring theme in the prophetic books, emphasizing that the messages delivered by prophets are not their own but are divinely inspired. This underscores the authority and authenticity of Jeremiah's prophetic mission. asking, 'What do you see, Jeremiah?' 'I see a branch of an almond tree,' The poetry of the symbols is of exquisite beauty. In contrast to the words of terror, in harmony with the words of hope, he sees the almond-bough, with its bright pink blossoms and its pale green leaves, the token of an early spring rising out of the dreariness of winter. The name of the almond-tree (here the poetical, not the common, name) made the symbol yet more expressive. It was the watcher, the tree that "hastens to awake" (shaked) out of its wintry sleep, and thus expresses the divine haste which would not without cause delay the fulfilment of its gracious promise, but would, as it were, make it bud and blossom, and bear fruit. Verses 11-16. - Two trials or probations of Jeremiah's inner sight (2 Kings 6:17). Two visions are granted him, which he is required to describe. The first expresses the certainty of his prophetic revelation; the second indicates its contents. Verse 11. - A rod of an almond tree. The name here adopted for the almond tree is peculiarly suitable in this connection. It means "wakeful;" the almond, blossoming in January, is the first to "wake" from the sleep of winter.Parallel Commentaries ...
