Notes

eyes … ears: There will be a transformation from spiritual blindness and deafness to understanding and knowing God (Isaiah 6:10; 29:18; 32:3; 42:7; see also Luke 7:22; Acts 26:18).

God will come to defend and change his people. They will no longer be deaf, blind, or lame (see Isaiah 6:10). Instead, they will be pure, holy, and saved.
