Yesaya 29:18

29:18 At that time ¹  the deaf will be able to hear words read from a scroll,

and the eyes of the blind will be able to see through deep darkness. ² 

Yesaya 32:3

32:3 Eyes ³  will no longer be blind ⁴ 

and ears ⁵  will be attentive.

Yesaya 35:5

35:5 Then blind eyes will open,

deaf ears will hear.

[29:18]  ¹ tn Or “In that day” (KJV).

[29:18]  ² tn Heb “and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.”

[29:18]  sn Perhaps this depicts the spiritual transformation of the once spiritually insensitive nation (see vv. 10-12, cf. also 6:9-10).

[32:3]  ³ tn Heb “Eyes that see.”

[32:3]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text as vocalized reads literally “will not gaze,” but this is contradictory to the context. The verb form should be revocalized as תְּשֹׁעֶינָה (tÿsho’enah) from שָׁעַע (sha’a’, “be blinded”); see Isa 6:10; 29:9.

[32:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “ears that hear.”
