Isaiah 35:5
Compare all
3 aStrengthen the1 weak hands,
And make firm the1 feeble knees. 
4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted,
“Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with avengeance,
With the recompense of God;
He will come and bsave you.” 
5 Then the aeyes of the blind shall be opened,
And bthe ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 
6 Then the alame shall leap like a deer,
And the btongue of the dumb sing.
For cwaters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert. 
7 The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In athe habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 
8 A ahighway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
bThe unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.

<< Isaiah 35:4   Isaiah 35:6 >>


Isaiah 35:5

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened - The images in this verse and the following are those of joy and exultation. They describe the times of happiness when God would come to save them from their foes. This passage is so accurate a description of what the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, did, that it doubtless refers to the miracles which he would perform. In not a few instances did he in fact restore the blind to sight, giving thus the most unequivocal proof that he was the Messiah sent from God Matthew 9:27; Matthew 20:30; Mark 8:23; Mark 10:46; Luke 7:21. It is a full confirmation of the opinion that this passage refers to Christ, that the Saviour himself appeals to the fact that he restored the blind to sight, as demonstration that he was the Messiah, implying that it was predicted that this would be a part of his appropriate work (Matthew 11:5; compare Luke 4:18).

And the ears of the deaf be unstopped - Another demonstration of divine power, and another proof that would be furnished that the Messiah was from God The Lord Jesus often gave this demonstration that he was invested with divine power Matthew 11:5; Mark 7:32, Mark 7:37; Mark 9:25.
