This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Ver. 3. Call unto me, and I will answer thee.] Thou hast a promise, and I will perform it; but so as that thou Jeremiah, and such as thou art, Daniel, Ezekiel, Nehemiah, &c., pray over the promise. The angel told Daniel he came for his prayer’s sake. {Jer_10:12}
And show thee great and mighty things.] Or, Abstruse and reserved things. God’s praying people get to know much of his mind above others; like as John, by weeping, got the book opened; and Daniel, by prayer, had the king’s secret revealed unto him in a night vision. {Dan_2:18-19} Bene orasse, est bene studuisse, said Luther; who, because he had much communion with God by prayer, so holy truths were daily more and more made known unto him, he knew not how nor which way, as himself said.
