Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - I will hasten my word; literally, I am wakeful over my word; alluding to the meaning of the Hebrew word for almond.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) I will hasten.--The Hebrew, by using a participle formed from the same root (shoked), presents a play upon the name of the "almond," as the watcher, which it is impossible to reproduce; literally, I, too, am watching over my word to perform it.
