Haydock's commentary
Hale, or healthy. Hebrew, "in perfect strength." (Haydock)
Septuagint, "simplicity, or folly." St. Augustine reads with the old Vulgate, "in the strength of his simplicity, (Calmet) or innocence. (Haydock)
These outward appearances prove nothing for interior piety or wickedness. (Calmet)
