Isaiah 65:20
Compare all
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create;
For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing,
And her people a joy.
19 aI will rejoice in Jerusalem,
And joy in My people;
The bvoice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her,
Nor the voice of crying. 
20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days,
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
aBut the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. 
21 aThey shall build houses and inhabit them;
They shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 
22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
They shall not plant and aanother eat;
For bas the days of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,
And cMy elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 
23 They shall not labor in vain,
aNor bring forth children for trouble;
For bthey shall be the descendants of the blessed of the Lord,
And their offspring with them. 
24 “It shall come to pass
That abefore they call, I will answer;
And while they are still speaking, I will bhear.

Isaiah 65:20

The longevity of men in the first age of the world shall be enjoyed again.

thence—from that time forward.

infant of days—that is, an infant who shall only complete a few days; short-lived.

filled . . . days—None shall die without attaining a full old age.

child . . . die . . . hundred years—that is "he that dieth an hundred years old shall die a mere child" [LOWTH].

sinner . . . hundred . . . be accursed—"The sinner that dieth at an hundred years shall be deemed accursed," that is, his death at so early an age, which in those days the hundredth year will be regarded, just as if it were mere childhood, shall be deemed the effect of God's special visitation in wrath [ROSENMULLER]. This passage proves that the better age to come on earth, though much superior to the present will not be a perfect state; sin and death shall have place in it (compare Revelation 20:7-8), but much less frequently than now.
