Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 43:8

8 Bring forth the blind People that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears .

The sence is either. 1. Bring out of Captivity my people who were blind and deaf, but now have their eyes and ears opened by my grace. So this verse relates to the foregoing passages: Or rather, 2. O ye Idolatrous Gentiles, produce or bring forth your false Gods, which have eyes but see not, and ears but hear not, as is said, Psal. 115. 5, 6. So this verse belongs to the following context, in which God reneweth his contest with Idols; which in this verse he calleth blind, and in the next verse proveth them so to be.
