Context of Isaiah 29:19

17In a very short time Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field and the fertile field will be considered a forest. 18When that day comes, the deaf will hear the words written in the book. The blind will see out of their gloom and darkness. Humble people again will find joy in the Lord. The poorest of people will find joy in the Holy One of Israel. 20Tyrants will be gone. Mockers will be finished. All who look for ways to do wrong will come to an end: 21those who make people sin with words, those who lay traps for judges, those who, without any reason, deny justice to people who are in the right.

Commentaries on Isaiah 29:19

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19The meek - The word meek‘ usually refers to those who are patient in the reception of injuries, but the Hebrew word used here (ענוים ‛ănâviym ) means properly the oppressed, the afflicted, the unhappy Psalm 9:13; Psalm 10:12, Psalm 10:17; Proverbs 3:34; Isaiah 11:4.
