Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
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. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Mighty things - Or, as in the margin. The words are probably a quotation from Isa 48:6. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Call unto eve, and I will answer thee - To me alone it belongs to reveal what is future; and the stupendous things which are now coming are known only to myself. These idolaters go to their gods to get information relative to the issue of the present commotions; but there is no light in them. Ask thou, O Jeremiah, and I will tell thee the great and mighty things which even thou knowest not. |

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.
