Contextual Overview

¹ What advantage then hath the Jew: or what is the profit of circumcision? ² Much every way. First indeed, because the words of God were committed to them. ³ For what if some of them have not believed? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid! ⁴ But God is true and every man a liar, as it is written: That thou mayest be justified in thy words and mayest overcome when thou art judged. ⁵ But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath? ⁶ (I speak according to man.) God forbid! Otherwise how shall God judge this world? ⁷ For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner? ⁸ And not rather (as we are slandered and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil that there may come good? Whose damnation is just. ⁹ What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin. ¹⁰ As it is written: There is not any man just.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. These words are taken from Psalms 10:7, by cursing is meant, cursing of God, which is sometimes internal with the heart, and sometimes external with the mouth, as here; and of all good men, though without cause, and to no purpose with respect to the persons they curse, since God has blessed them, and they are blessed, and greatly to their own detriment, for, in the issue, their curses will be turned against themselves. There is also a cursing of superiors, as parents, masters, magistrates, kings, and governors; which is a sore evil, and attended with bad consequences; likewise of themselves, and their fellow creatures: and "the mouth [being] full [of it]", denotes the frequency of the sin; scarce anything else comes out of it but cursing; which discovers the sad corruption of the heart; "for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh", Matthew 12:34. By "bitterness" is meant, either sin in general, which is "an evil and bitter [thing]", Jeremiah 2:19, in its nature and effects; or sinful words, such as oaths, curses, imprecations, all wrathful and deceitful words.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Whose mouth - Psalms 10:7. The apostle has not quoted this literally, but has given the sense. David in the psalm is describing his bitter enemies.

Cursing - Reproachful and opprobrious language, such as Shimei used in relation to David; 2 Samuel 16:5, 2 Samuel 16:7-8.

Bitterness - In the psalm, deceits. The word “bitterness” is used to denote severity, harshness, cruelty; reproachful and malicious words.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Romans 3:14. Whose mouth is full of cursing, &c.] They never speak but in profane oaths, blasphemies, and malice.
