Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 29:18

"And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness." — Isaiah 29:18 (ASV)

In that day the deaf will hear the words of the book.—The open vision of the future is contrasted with the self-chosen ignorance of Isaiah 29:11. The “book” (the Hebrew has, however, no definite article) is, perhaps, the prophet’s own message, or the book of the law of the Lord, which will then be understood in all its spiritual fullness. The doom of the “closed eyes” of Isaiah 6:10 will then be in force no more.
