Isaiah 29:24 - Exposition

They also that erred in spirit ; i.e. those who were blind and deaf ( Isaiah 29:18 ). Shall come to understanding ; literally, shall know understanding ; i.e. recover their power of spiritual discernment. They that murmured. The reference cannot be to the "murmuring" in Egypt, though the verb used occurs only elsewhere in Deuteronomy 1:27 and Psalms 106:25 , where that murmuring is spoken of. We must look for some later discontent, which we may find in quite recent "murmuring resistance to the admonitions of Jehovah" (Delitzsch), without going back so far as the time of the Exodus. Shall learn doctrine ; i.e. "shall willingly receive the teaching, of God's prophets, and profit by it."
