A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Call . . . I will answer-- (Jer 29:12; Psa 91:15). Jeremiah, as the representative of the people of God, is urged by God to pray for that which God has determined to grant; namely, the restoration. God's promises are not to slacken, but to quicken the prayers of His people (Psa 132:13, Psa 132:17; Isa 62:6-7).

mighty things--Hebrew, "inaccessible things," that is, incredible, hard to man's understanding [MAURER], namely, the restoration of the Jews, an event despaired of. "Hidden," or "recondite" [PISCATOR].

thou knowest not--Yet God had revealed those things to Jeremiah, but the unbelief of the people in rejecting the grace of God had caused him to forget God's promise, as though the case of the people admitted of no remedy.

7 And give [05414] him no rest [01824], till he establish [03559], and till he make [07760] Jerusalem [03389] a praise [08416] in the earth [0776].
17 There will I make [06779] the horn [07161] of David [01732] to bud [06779]: I have ordained [06186] a lamp [05216] for mine anointed [04899].
13 For the LORD [03068] hath chosen [0977] Zion [06726]; he hath desired [0183] it for his habitation [04186].
15 He shall call [07121] upon me, and I will answer [06030] him: I will be with him in trouble [06869]; I will deliver [02502] him, and honour [03513] him.
12 Then shall ye call [07121] upon me, and ye shall go [01980] and pray [06419] unto me, and I will hearken [08085] unto you.
6 Thou hast heard [08085], see [02372] all this; and will not ye declare [05046] it? I have shewed [08085] thee new things [02319] from this time [06258], even hidden things [05341], and thou didst not know [03045] them.
