There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
The longevity of men in the first age of the world shall be enjoyed again.
There shall be no more thence - from that time forward.
An infant of days - i:e., an infant who shall only complete a few days; short-lived.
Nor an old man that hath not filled his days - none shall die without attaining a full old age.
For the child shall die an hundred years old - i:e., 'he that dieth an hundred years old shall be thought to die a mere child' (Lowth).
But the sinner, (being) an hundred years old, shall be accursed - rather, as there is no adversative force nor opposition, but rather the second clause continues the idea in the first, 'and the sinner that dieth at an hundred years shall be deemed accursed' - i:e., 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 millennial 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 (cf. Revelation 20:7-8 ), but much less frequently than now.
