Context of Isaiah 29:19

17Is it not yet just a little while Before Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field, And the fertile field will be considered as a forest? 18On that day the deaf will hear words of a book, And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see. The afflicted also will increase their gladness in the Lord, And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 20For the ruthless will come to an end and the scorner will be finished, Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be cut off; 21Who cause a person to be indicted by a word, And ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate, And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments.

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.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-24Verses 17-24 The wonderful change here foretold, may refer to the affairs of Judah, though it looks further.
