Yesaya 29:18-19

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 

29:19 The downtrodden will again rejoice in the Lord;

the poor among humankind will take delight ³  in the Holy One of Israel. ⁴ 

[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).

[29:19]  ³ tn Or “will rejoice” (NIV, NCV, NLT).

[29:19]  ⁴ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
