2.

Radak: Until now, they were Nimharim (fools) - "va'Atzas Niftalim Nimharim" (Iyov 5:13), "Imru l'Nimharei Lev" (below, 35:4). Those who made themselves fools and garblers to [not] understand Devar Hashem - "Ki b'La'agei Safah uv'Lashon Acheres Yedaber El ha'Am ha'Zeh" (28:11). After this great Teshuvah, they will return to see, hear, understand and speak clearly.

3.

Malbim: They will not understand in order to quarrel, rather, in order to know.

Why does it say "u'Leshon Ilegim"?

1.
