Isaiah 29:18 - Exposition

In that day — i.e; when that time comes— shall the deaf hear the words of the book ; the spiritually deaf shall have their ears opened, many of them, and shall not only hear, but understand, the words of Scripture addressed to them by God's messengers. No particular "book" is intended— sepher being without the article, but the words of any writing put forth with Divine authority. The eyes of the blind shall see also out of obscurity. Men shall shake off the "deep sleep" ( Isaiah 29:10 ) in which they have long lain, and have once mute "eyes to see" the truth.
