Isaiah 32:3

3 Then 1the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.

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 Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.
2 Each will be like a refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry country, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.
3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
5 No longer will the fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
