‏ Isaiah 32:5

5. vile--rather, "fool" [Lowth]; that is, ungodly (Psa 14:1; 74:18).

liberal--rather, "noble-minded."

churl--rather, "fraudulent" [Gesenius].

bountiful--religiously. The atheistic churl, who envies the believer his hope "full of immortality," shall no longer be held as a patriot struggling for the emancipation of mankind from superstition [Horsley].
