Here the Lord comes in with sweet promises, for the Lord still favors his people, and will have mercy upon Israel. Hence, therefore, here are blessings of fruitfulness promised; blind eyes are to be opened, deaf ears to be unstopped, and humble souls shall be made joyful in the Lord: And who doth not, or will not see, in all this, the outlines of the coming of Jesus? Compare Isaiah 35:5, with Matthew 11:5, and then ask whether words can be plainer?
