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
Destruction and misery are in their ways. This passage also is to be found in Isaiah 59:7, and may be understood either actively thus: all the ways they take, and methods they pursue, are to make their fellow creatures miserable, to ruin and destroy them; or passively, that by their sinful ways and vicious course of life, they themselves are brought to destruction and misery: the way they are walking in is, "the broad way, that leadeth to destruction", Matthew 7:13; the end of it, what it issues in, is eternal death, the destruction of the body and soul in hell, which will be attended with endless and inexpressible misery.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Destruction - That is, they “cause” the destruction or the ruin of the reputation, happiness, and peace of others.
Misery - Calamity, ruin.
In their ways - Wherever they go. This is a striking description not only of the wicked then, but of all times. The tendency of their conduct is to destroy the virtue, happiness, and peace of all with whom they come in contact.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Romans 3:16. Destruction and misery are in their ways — DESTRUCTION is their work, and MISERY to themselves and to the objects of their malice is the consequence of their impious and murderous conduct.
