Study Note
The invitation 'call to me and I will answer you, and tell you great and hidden things you do not know' comes during Jeremiah's imprisonment, amid the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. The verse grounds intercessory prayer in divine responsiveness and divine superior knowledge — the one who answers knows what the asker does not. 'Unsearchable/hidden' translates 'betsurot' — things that are fortified, inaccessible, beyond human ability to reach. The contrast between Jeremiah's confinement and the expansiveness of divine knowledge available through prayer makes this verse a paradigm for prayer in circumstances of helplessness.
