Isaiah 32:3

3 And the eyes of those who see will not be shut, and those who have hearing will give ear to the word.

Isaiah 32:3 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 32:3

And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim
Not of the seers and prophets, or ministers of the word only, but of the righteous in general, as the Targum; even all such as are illuminated by the Spirit of God, who shall have a clear discerning of Gospel truths, behold with open face, with eyes unveiled, the glory of them, and of Christ in them, and not have their eyes covered, or such a dim obscure knowledge of them as under the law; and not only the watchmen shall see, eye to eye, all truths clearly and distinctly, but even all, from the least to the greatest, shall know the Lord, and the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of him, as the waters cover the sea. It is a prophecy of the great increase of spiritual light in the times of the Messiah:

and the ears of them that hear shall hearken:
very diligently and attentively to the word preached, and receive and embrace the doctrines of the Gospel, and submit to, and obey, the ordinances of it.

Isaiah 32:3 In-Context

1 See, a king will be ruling in righteousness, and chiefs will give right decisions.

2 And a man will be as a safe place from the wind, and a cover from the storm; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a waste land.

3 And the eyes of those who see will not be shut, and those who have hearing will give ear to the word.

4 The man of sudden impulses will become wise in heart, and he whose tongue is slow will get the power of talking clearly.

5 The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.
