For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people.
KJV
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day,.... That is, as the Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem explain it, which can fast and does not fast; for a sick person, and a child under nine years of age, were not obliged to fast on this day (p):
he shall be cut off from among his people; by an untimely death, by the hand of God; the Targum of Jonathan says, by the pestilence.
(p) Maimon. Hilchot Shebitat Ashur, c. 2. sect. 8, 10.
