Contextual Overview
17 In a very short time, Lebanon will become rich farmland, and the rich farmland will seem like a forest. 18 At that time the deaf will hear the words in a book. Instead of having darkness and gloom, the blind will see. 19 The Lord will make the poor people happy; they will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 20 Then the people without mercy will come to an end; those who do not respect God will disappear. Those who enjoy doing evil will be gone: 21 those who lie about others in court, those who trap people in court, those who lie and take justice from innocent people in court. 22 This is what the Lord who set Abraham free says to the family of Jacob: "Now the people of Jacob will not be ashamed or disgraced any longer. 23 When they see all their children, the children I made with my hands, they will say my name is holy. They will agree that the Holy One of Jacob is holy, and they will respect the God of Israel. 24 People who do wrong will now understand. Those who complain will accept being taught."

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.
