18  In that day ^cthe deaf shall hear

^dthe words of a book,

and out of their gloom and darkness

^ethe eyes of the blind shall see.

19  ^fThe meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,

and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

5  ^bThen the eyes of the blind shall be opened,

and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
