A Picture of Flourishing

Commentators agree this verse uses poetic language to describe a future time of immense blessing. The promise of long life, where dying at 100 is considered young, symbolizes a return to patriarchal-like vitality. It's a powerful image of the peace, security, and prosperity that characterize God's renewed creation, a state where life is no longer cut short by violence or calamity.
