Isaiah 32:4

"The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests that under the reign of a wise leader, both the prophets and teachers will have clear insight into divine truth (their eyes will not be "dim"), while the people who listen to them will attentively hear and understand these teachings (their ears will "listen"). It points to a time when spiritual understanding and receptivity are greatly enhanced.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The heart also of the rash -Margin, ‘Hasty.’ The Hebrew word denotes those who hasten; that is, those who are precipitate in forming a judgment, or deciding on a course of action. They do not take time to deliberate, and consequently they are led headlong into error, and into improper courses of life. Shall understand knowledge -They shall take time to deliberate; and they shall consequently form a more enlightened judgment. And the tongue of the stammerers -The ‘stammerers’ (compare the note atIsaiah 28:11) seem here to denote those who had indistinct and confused views of subjects, or who were incapable of expressing clear and intelligible views of divine truth.
