Contextual Overview
17Is it not yet just a little whileBefore Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful orchard,And the fruitful orchard will be counted as a forest? 18On that day the deaf will hear words of a book,And out of darkness and thick darkness the eyes of the blind will see. 19The afflicted also will increase their gladness in Yahweh,And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 20For the ruthless will come to an end and the scoffer will be finished,Indeed all who are watching out to do evil will be cut off; 21Who cause a person to sin by a word,And ensnare him who reproves at the gate,And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments. 22Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob:"Jacob shall not now be ashamed, and now his face shall not turn pale; 23But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst,They will sanctify My name;Indeed, they will sanctify the Holy One of JacobAnd will stand trembling before the God of Israel. 24Those who err in spirit will know discernment,And those who criticize will gain learning.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book,.... That is, in the Gospel day, or times of the Gospel dispensation, when that should be preached to the Gentiles; who before were deaf, but now should be made to hear, and be willing to hear, and hear so as to understand the doctrines contained in the Scriptures, the prophecies of them concerning the Messiah; even the words of that book that is sealed to the Jews, and could not be read, neither by the learned nor unlearned among them; but should be both read, heard, and understood, by the Gentiles, having ears given them to hear the Gospel, to receive its doctrines, and obey its ordinances:
and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness; such, who before were blind and ignorant as to spiritual things, being called, through the ministry of the word, out of darkness into marvellous light, and their eyes being opened by it, should now see their sin and misery, their lost and dangerous estate, the way of life and salvation by Christ, the great and glorious truths of the Gospel, and what eye has not seen, nor ear heard.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Shall the deaf hear the words of the book - They who now have the law and do not understand it, the people who seem to be deaf to all that God says, shall hear and understand it.
Shall see out of obscurity ... - That is, the darkness being removed, they shall see clearly the truth of God, and discern and love its beauty. Their eyes are now blinded, but then they shall see clearly.
