Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible

Isaiah 65:20

The future, in the prophet's view, will be marked by a return to patriarchal longevity (Genesis 5), the power of death being not altogether removed, but limited. Those who die at 100 will be reckoned as but children, or as prematurely cut off for their sins.

21, 22. Reversal of the curse (Deuteronomy 28:30).
