Jeremiah 1:11-12

New International Version

¹¹The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?”^(A)

“I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied.

¹²The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching^[a]^(B) to see that my word is fulfilled.”

Jeremiah 1:12 The Hebrew for watching sounds like the Hebrew for almond tree.
