Haydock's commentary
Of a fool. In as much as he is wicked. Though he may have some pious thoughts, he attends not to them. (Haydock)
He thinks how he may commit evil, and renders himself hateful. (Calmet)
Hebrew, "a wicked thought is the sin of folly." Septuagint, "the fool dieth in sins."
Detractor. Hebrew, "scoffer." (Haydock)
