Context of Jeremiah 33:3
1Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2Thus saith the LORD the maker of this, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; Call to me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 4For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; 5They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.

Commentaries on Jeremiah 33:3
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3Call 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.

Ask thou, O Jeremiah, and I will tell thee the great and mighty things which even thou knowest not.Read the comment

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-26As Jerusalem and the king of Judah faced invaders, God gave Jeremiah insight into His long-term plan. The promises would only come true after the destruction.
