Contextual Overview
1 What then is the superiority of the Jew? Or what the profit of circumcision? 2 Much every way. For first, indeed, that they were entrusted with the Words of God. 3 For what if some did not believe? Will not their unbelief nullify the faith of God? 4 Let it not be! But let God be true, and every man a liar; even as it has been written, "That You should be justified in Your words, and will overcome in Your being judged." LXX-Psa. 50:6; MT-Psa. 51:4 5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who lays on wrath? I speak according to man. 6 Let it not be! Otherwise, how will God judge the world? 7 For if in my lie the truth of God abounded to His glory, why am I yet judged as a sinner? 8 And not (as we are wrongly accused, and as some report us to say), Let us do bad things so that good things may come, the judgment of whom is just. 9 What then? Do we excel? Not at all! For we have charged both Jews and Greeks before, all with being under sin; 10 according as it has been written, "There is not a righteous one , not even one!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Their feet are swift to shed blood. The sins of the heart and mouth are before described, and now the sins of action are taken notice of; for "the feet" are the instruments of motion and action: and when these are said to be "swift to shed blood", it denotes the readiness and eagerness of men, to murder innocent creatures; which shows the dreadful malice and hatred that is in them. The words are cited from Isaiah 59:7, and seem to point at the times of Manasseh, who shed so much innocent blood, as to fill Jerusalem with it from one end to the other.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Their feet ... - The quotation in this and the two following verses, is abridged or condensed from Isaiah 59:7-8. The expressions occur in the midst of a description of the character of the nation in the time of the prophet. The apostle has selected a few expressions out of many, rather making a reference to the entire passage, than a formal quotation. The expression, “their feet are swift,” etc., denotes the eagerness of the nation to commit crime, particularly deeds of injustice and cruelty. They thirsted for the blood of innocence, and hasted to shed it, to gratify their malice, or to satisfy their vengeance.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Romans 3:15. Their feet are swift to shed blood — They make use of every means in their power to destroy the reputation and lives of the innocent.
