For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
For the vile person will speak villany. Christ at His coming will manifest vile men in their real character, having stripped off them the mask which now they wear, and will deal with them accordingly. Grotius takes it present: 'For the (irreligious) fool speaketh folly (so vile ... villany, mean as in Isaiah 32:5), and his heart worketh iniquity,' etc. Thus, the reason is assigned why such persons will be excluded from offices of dignity in the coming kingdom. I prefer the English version as explained above. Compare Revelation 22:11.
To practice hypocrisy - rather, profligacy (Horsley).
And to utter error - impiety, perverse arguments.
To make empty the soul of the hungry - spiritually (Matthew 5:6).
