‏ Isaiah 29:18-19

18 At that time ^{▼▼tn Or “In that day” (KJV).} 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. ^{▼▼tn Heb “and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.”} ^{▼▼sn Perhaps this depicts the spiritual transformation of the once spiritually insensitive nation (see vv. 10-12, cf. also 6:9-10).}
19 The downtrodden will again rejoice in the Lord;
the poor among humankind will take delight ^{▼▼tn Or “will rejoice” (NIV, NCV, NLT).} in the Holy One of Israel. ^{▼▼sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.}
