Context of Isaiah 32:3
1Behold, a King will reign in righteousness, And princes will rule with justice. 2Each [one of them] will be like a hiding place from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry land, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched and weary land [to those who turn to them]. Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen attentively. 4The heart (mind) of those who act impulsively will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hurry to speak clearly. 5The fool (the good-for-nothing) will no longer be called noble, Nor the rogue said to be generous.

The removal of the negative restores to the verb its true and usual sense.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3And the eyes of them that see - The sense of this verse is, that there shall be, under the reign of this wise and pious prince, on the part of the prophets and teachers, a clear view of divine truth, and on the part of the people who hear, a disposition to hearken and to attend to it.
